Itchy red rash under both armpits : allergy or deodorant ?
Posted: 07-03-07 07:32am

I've developed an itchy rash under both my armpits. At first I thought it was my deodorant but I switched. This problem has been on going for quite some time now. I have no allergies that I'm aware of. Now they're not icthy all the time, just if I happen to rub my armpit for what ever reason. At first they weren't red and you couldn't see any evidence of a rash but now they are. what could it be?

It is hard to diagnose a skin condition without first seeing it. You could be experiencing an allergy but a skin infection is also possible. You can consult your GP, or a dermatologist if necessary, in order to have a more accurate understanding of what's going on.
