I have an armpit rash that looks like sand flea bites and i was just at the ocean. How can I get rid of it?

Question

it has little bumps that itch and it hasn't spread. some are little like pimples and some just a little bigger.

Answer 1

Go to the drugstore and get some hydrocortisone cream. It's sold under all kinds of brand names, but the store brands are cheaper. This will take away that rash in just a couple of days. In the meantime, don't wear deodorant, just baby powder. You'll be fine.

Answer 2

First check your dogs for fleas or flea dirt(poop). It's little black pieces of dirt looking stuff, put some on a piece of white paper or a white tissue. Put a drop of water on it, if it turns red, then it's flea dirt and they probably have fleas. Like mentioned, fleas generally start out on the legs and feet. Otherwise, like mentioned above, I'd call a dr. you're probably having a reaction to something, or like someone said possibly the chicken pox. Benadryl works good, and calamine lotion or some kind of anti itch cream until you can get a hold of the dr. If you don't have any anti itch lotion, try taking a bath with some baking soda in the water. If you have any wheezing or trouble breathing, call 911-that's nothing to mess around with. Also, stay away from the flea collars for the animals. They don't work, and some will actually burn the dogs neck and make the fur fall out. Happened to one of my mom's dogs. If you do have a flea problem, best thing to use is either Advantage or Frontline. Vets sell them(expensive), or you can buy it online at drs. foster and smith-they're the cheapest I've found.
