Does anyone else struggle with acne/pimply-like breakouts on their armpits??
For me, it started last summer as tiny nicks from my razor while shaving - just on my left armpit. After awhile, when I was going through some severe stress and anxiety issues, I noticed pimples there. They hurt a bit right after they appear but don't really itch or anything like that. They seem to take a long time to clear up, longer than acne anywhere else - but I'm not sure if this is just because they're in a sweat gland.
My doctor took a quick look and said it was razor burn.
I apply topical acne medication (Clean & Clear) and use antibacterial soap which seems to keep the breakouts under control - instead of 5-6 large pimples at a time, I have just 1. Tried changing deodorants, but this didn't have any effect. I change razor blades frequently.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
