I have read other comments regarding underarm itch and nothing is being attributed to deodorant. I have this problem of great itching underarms. It is nearly insatiable once the scratching starts. I never use anti-perspirant,I always use deodorant. I am currently using a roll-on of mineral salts and it seemed to work for a while but now the rash has returned. Is this asymptomatic for many people or am I just an isolated case among a very few...
Thanks for any help

That sounds a little like hidradenitis. Could it be?
I also just found out that my wife started soaking my clothes in oxyclean and tide. The washer does not rinse well. Could the laundry chemicals cause this?
It could be irritation. Blisters could also be infection, but infections wouldn't come and go. An allergy to antiperspirant wouldn't look like this, and would of course affect both sides. I think you should clean the area gently, apply an over-the-counter antibiotic like bacitracin, and see a skin doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
Best.
