So I have these skin flaps near my armpit...Yeah I know gross!!  It is just on one side and it's inflamed.  I tried Aloe...No go.  What can I use...triple anti, calamine lotion?  Any ideas??  Since it is somewhat under my arm there is constant movement...

Let your surgeon or PCP know, document it and maybe get surgery thru insurance with documentation and pictures.

My son uses something called Anti-Monkey Butt powder, but I do recommend a trip to the doctor for a diagnosis because different causes need different treatments.

I fight badgers with spoons.

It may have developed a yeast infection, so go see the doctor and have it documented. You may need a prescription for an anti-fungal.

If it's a yeast infection don't put powder on it.  Best to see your PCP for an anti-fungal cream.  Yeast will not disappear without proper treatment, it may get better put will still be there.

It it's yeast see your Doc, but if it is just irritated, you may want to try Destin. It is for Baby rash and it has Zinc in it. The Walmart version has 40% and works really well.
