horrible rash

[hister]

i had two ant looking bites below my armpit and some little cysts in my armpit. the ant bite looking things became hard like cysts they joined together and hut like hell. i left it alone them broke out in a rash around the cyst.  soon it spread to my chest, i went to the doctor and told me it was irritation caused through the deodorant i was using. she prescribed my an antibiotic then a anxiety medication to relieve the itch...the anxiety medicine didn't really work much, been taking the antibiotic for almost a week and the rash keeps spreading to my other armpit stomach and neck and arms. i havent been able to sleep much at all.  and the rash i rosy like red dont look that bad at all but the itch is too much i end up scratching at night and it get worse please help.

thank you sir, the only thing that calmed the itching and let me sleep was caladryl.  after trying tea tree oil fungus creams antibiotics allergic pills alcohol and other things the only thing that worked was switching to a higher percentage on alcohol.  i used a 91 percent alcohol.  this calmed the itch for about half a day but i would bathe in it at least 3 times a day and the more i would do it the less itch i had until now thanks to god its almost gone. it could of been the antibiotics that finally kicked in but the alcohol burned more than hell itself but burned less and less until their was none i hope this works for others......thanks again doc.

Hello,
These symptoms can be due to pityriasis rosea. Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching.

My suggestion is to get this possibility evaluated from a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
