Red Lines under armpit question?!


Question: Red Lines under armpit question?
My boyfriend has red lines under his armpit. It looks like he scratched it really hard. They are well defined, dark red, and look like a rash, but only in the straight thin lines. The thing is, these scratches are where he can't reach his hands to scratch. It has been there for a few hours and it looks like it is starting under his other armpit. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Answers:

I am guessing that these Striations(medical Term) are a result of an intrinsic or extrensic nature.
Intrinsic: your boyfriend is working out a lot and may be developing stretchmarks; your BF is overweight and bacteria is infecting areas which are not cleaned well.
Extrensic: Possible environmental exposure (i.e. poison ivy); bedbugs (they bite in straight lines along blood vessels)
Give your BF 50 mg benadryl (2 benadryl) and apply some topical steroids (hydro-cortisone), you may try some neosporin as well.



It is very common thing. I'm no professional but I have seen many people with this "Rash" and nothing serious happens.
