I started getting a rash I went to the doctor and he gave me eumovate steroid cream I've woken up with the rash 100 times worse.

It's on my armpit upper arm and chest. It's burning and itching and causing a lot of pain

It could be a fungal rash which a steroid cream would make worse.

I had rash on one side in areas you described that proved to be shingles. Perhaps you need to go back to doc. Xx

hope you get it sorted. i had a fungal rash on my leg for 2 years. eventually it was biopsied and proved to be fungal. Definitely check it isn't shingles

Went back and found out I do have shingles and the cream has just ripped my skin apart! Thanks for your comments I would have never guessed shingles as I'm only 18 years old and don't have contact with kids! Thankyou for the help people x

Oh I'm sorry you have shingles but glad you know what's wrong. Very painful area for shingles as I know. I don't think you need contact with kids, it's a dormant virus that pops up I think. I found calamine lotion dabbed in my armpit really helped and cool air also. Trick with that was not getting the fan to blow too directly on the shingles as that made it worse. Did you get anti-virals? X
