Q: chronic armpit rash

i'm a 17-year-old girl and ever since puberty started i have had this armpit rash. it's sort of on and off and recently it has gotten worse. it looks like little red pimples all over, except not so much where i would put deodorant, more around that area. sometimes the pimples get white heads and hurt a lot. it hurts in general. i don't think it's from shaving, or deodorant but i'm really not sure. wearing a bra really hurts because the end of the wire pushes against the rash. it doesn't itch at all. i have very sensitive skin. i don't know what to do. my mom doesn't think it's a problem and won't take me to the dermo...but i am so sick of it. any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated!

You might want to try to put some 'tea tree' oil on the effected area. Of course this is only treating the symptom, but it should bring some relief, since you won’t be seeing a doctor.
