Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi , Of course I haven't seen what it looks like, but now that you describe it better, another possibility is eczema. It can occur quite frequently under the arms. Have you been to a dermatologist? A short course of mild oral or topical steroid cream would probably be what a dermatologist would recommend, assuming of course it actually is eczema. You could test a mild hydrocortisone cream to see if it does anything, but you may need something a bit stronger. Oatmeal baths can also work well to relieve the itchiness. If Neosporin did nothing then we can probably rule out bacterial infection.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 it could be of staph too. ( a friend of me had that and it was much irritated since under the arms. Also it could be from consuming dairy as they are called the dairy bumps my daughter has them on her legs.It is a rash that looks like of heat rash but is not red but like white lilted bumps and was to wonder on something if a child is on GF/CF diet what would happen if you use external products with wheat or oatmeal. Would it soak into the skin and or such. Some soaps and hair shampoos have of that with wheat and or oatmeal in it? Would thi sbe off limits if onthe diet.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Oh, we have the bumps too around the stomach. the dr. said it was like impetigo only some other fancy name and not staph but bacterial. he said it would be around for a longtime. 6 mos to a yr. i thought it might have been shingles but he said due to the visual of it it wasnt that. karen (kara's mom) On Wednesday, May 12, 2004, at 10:36 PM, Sondra wrote: > it could be of staph too.
