A sweat rash under your arms, behind the knees, in between the legs, under or between the breasts or even in the groin area is an extremely annoying side effect of sweating. This irritating condition is caused by yeast and bacteria that occurs naturally on your skin.

Lyme Disease Rates Double in Past 15 Years

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
The varicella–zoster virus (VZV) can cause two diseases: chickenpox (varicella) and shingles (herpes zoster). Before a vaccine was developed in 1994, chickenpox was a common contagious childhood disease that produced itchy blisters but rarely caused serious problems. However, if adults who had not had the disease as children contracted it, it could cause more serious complications.

Infant heat rash
HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
Definition
Heat rash occurs in babies when the pores of the sweat glands become blocked. This generally happens when the weather is hot or humid. As the infant sweats, little red bumps, and possibly tiny blisters, form because the blocked glands cannot clear the sweat.

Drug Warning
Chemotherapy can cause anemia, a drop in red blood cell (hemoglobin) levels. Erythropoiesis-stimulating drugs, which boost the production of red blood cells, are administered to counteract this complication. However, these drugs, including epoietin alfa (Epogen, Procrit) and darbepoietin alfa (Aranesp), can also cause serious side effects and adversely affect survival when hemoglobin levels are raised too high.
