There seems to be a rash I try so hard not to stratch it but I can't help it. I went to the drug store the pharmarcist told me to buy this itching cream which costed $11.00 and it did nothing.  I would have paid any amount to have some relief of the itching.

I ran out of the deodorant I normally use and use  a new tube of seceret, thats when all the itching started.  After that the pharmarcist told me to get all natural Tom's deodorant and I can't get rid of this itch.  My plans are to contact the doctor on tomorrow I can't take it any longer.  I need some relief now. Thank you for repsonding.

Hi

This may be a contact dermatitis or a fungal infection. Have you been using some new deodorant lately? If yes, it is best to use the mild hypoallergenic ones. Contact dermatitis may develop from these chemicals applied on the skin. Fungal infections may cause itchiness in these areas because of the sweat and moist that are characteristic to the intertriginous areas.

Have this assessed by a dermatologist. Wash the armpits with a mild cleanser and refrain from applying anything on the area until your doctor has assessed this.

Is there any rash or excoriations?
