I traveled to Mexico and Colombia for 2 weeks in sketchy airbnbs and I contracted a rash under both armpits that look like a fungal infection. After avoiding heat and humidity and using anti fungal OTC cream clotrimazole it seems to be getting better slowly after 1 week.
What is extremely concerning to me is that my entire body has become extremely itchy and I get heat rash like pimples if lean on my arm for 30min. I cannot sleep on a bed I must sleep on the floor as contact with cloth itches too much. I also must use a small quantity of steroid cream betaderm on my arms rashes or it itches too much and I can't sleep.
At the moment if I am careful I have no visible heat rashes and can sleep on the floor, but I am still pretty itchy and if I'm not careful they come back.
The doctor didn't know exactly what I had, he just prescribed the 2 creams and said to come back if it gets worse or doesn't get better.
Anyone knows why I'm so itchy and sensitive to heat all of a sudden? Will it go away with time? Its been 1 week.
