Well, not really. I know I'm gonna be made fun of for this, BUT.... Ok, I got a HUGE heat rash on my under arm. It keeps spreading and spreading. It's all red, then surrounding the red spot, it looks like chicken pox. These things are alomst all the way down my side, and are spreading to my back. What are some ways to cure it? I'm kinda bored....I know you'll say go to the doctor, but are there any other ways? Is this gonna be like the "My nuts itch" thread? I hope not.
My IANADBIPOOCBBS diagnosis: the early stages of shingles. (I had it when I was in grad school.) info: http://www.niaid.nih.gov/shingles/cq.htm photos (rated PG): http://www.niaid.nih.gov/shingles/photos.htm If that's what it is, you'll need to go to a doctor for antibiotics and such (so it doesn't spread to your ears and eyes). You might be able to treat the symptoms with over-the-counter stuff, but that probably won't stop it from spreading. If it's not that, still go to a doctor.
Sounds like a heat rash, or "Prickly Heat". If anyone else has one....here's a link...All About Heat Rashes!!!!
EWS, Do you have a neighbor that is using your hand towel to clean his deli slicer? Or do you have a Dr. named Dr. Sitarides???
