Home / Answered Questions / I have gotten this rash in my armpit and only one side and it is a bunch of painful blisters that are itchy. It is red and looks like open sores. I also have various red sores in different places on my body. My other armpit is completely fine. It has been about a week now and hasn’t gotten better

Hi, and thank you for writing in

Unfortunately I am not able to diagnose what might be going on over the internet. However, I would definitely recommend that you see a family doctor or a physician at a walk-in clinic for a thorough assessment.

Let us know if this does not answer your question or if you have any more questions or concerns.
