My son has a bad rash, just noticed.  Mostly under arm and other sweat areas, but also on his torso and the length of his arms.  He just is recovering from a bad asthma attack (6 weeks) and was on a zpac as well as several allergy relief meds.  Any ideas?  Thanks

Hi there!

Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of his rash. Possibilities that may need to be considered include infections, inflammations, allergies, a few primary skin conditions etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by a dermatologist at your earliest convenience for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
