underarm rashes
 

does anyone get these a sore painful rash on there underarms?

how do you get rid of it as it does get so sore atm i'm using cheap moisturiser but it keeps up coming back

It could be something in your deoderant that's irritating your skin? You could try changing it to one that's for sensitive skin?
Or it could just be the heat.

It could possibly be yoru deodrant especially after shaving underarms.probably putting moisturiser on it isnt the best of things, maybe try a few days without it and see if it helps?

You may need a better or newer razor if you use disposables

As people have said above, if the rash is only located under your arms try switching to a sensitive skin deodorant or going without for a few days. If you have been shaving with a normal razor, try using a new one, if you shave with an electric razor or use chemical hair remover stop using them for a week or so and see if it goes away. Also don't put on deodorant right after shaving, as if you have any nicks in your skin from the shaving the deodorant could get in it and cause irritation.

If your bra is improperly sized the underwires could be causing rubbing under your arms which could cause a rash also.

If none of that applies to you, or you follow all that stuff and it doesn't work let us know.

i used to have this and tried all of the above to stop it. It was really red all over, hot to touch and itchy/stingy feeling, very unpleasant.

basically if the rash does not improve go to the doc, they will sort you out.
It turned out for me that I was allergic to my own sweat so they gave me a special fluid to spread over the area which reduced the sweating. I was advised to use aquias wash (spelling?) to wash and clean the area thoroughly...you can get it over the counter at pharmacies or on prescription.

like the others said, use a very light touch when shaving with a razor. Only shave the area with a sensitive wash. Then dry thoroughly.

I found that the painful rash often came about when I was particulary stressed.
It has improved a lot now! I hardly think about it, so it can be beaten.

Sorry this was a long post, but thought I'd share so that perhaps you can get it sorted quickly without waiting.
take care

Also, you may be having a reaction to your shaving cream, so you may want to switch that. As Hammy said some people are allergic to their own sweat, and also it may be a bacterial rash. The bacteria could get on your deodorant and so every time you apply it, it spreads the bacteria on. As a general rule you should replace your deodorant every 3 months minimum.

hiya

if it's still irritating you go to the doctor.

I had a dry itchy rash on my underarms and it turned out it was some form of fungal thing, like athletes foot or something. But anyway, I got antibiotic cream and it sorted it out pretty much in a couple of days. if it is something like that it won't go away until you get some cream for it, you'll just sweat and itch and hurt and itch some more. If it's not then you should still get it checked out by a doctor.
