Can someone tell me why my armpits feel itchy?!


Question: Can someone tell me why my armpits feel itchy.?
I've been using the same deodorant for 3 years, so I know it's not some kind of allergic reaction. My pits just randomly start itching during the day, and itching them is painful and doesn't really make it stop anyway. It seems like no matter what fabrics I wear, this still continues to happen to me. My first guess was that it might have something to do with shaving; the blades I use maybe.? Can someone tell me what's going on here.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
1. Use a fresh razor
2. Change soap
3. Try using shaving cream or gel
4. Change deodorant
5. Use cornstarch powder under your arms before you apply deodorant
6. Change laundry detergent
7. Change dryer sheets
8. Eliminate any clothes that rub under the arms

If these things don't help, see a doctorHealth Question & Answer

I had to go to the doctor for that feeling last year. There was a really bad rash and if I tried shaving it was probably going to hurt because my skin was so raw. It turned out that I had an infected hair follicle, which means that you reused a dirty blade or you had severe razor burn and you keep scratching it because it's uncomfortable.Health Question & Answer

It's probably shaving. Or if you put deodorant on RIGHT after shaving. Try not to shave so hard, and use a cream/gel. Be sure you dry them well after and maybe moisturize them.
Don't wear antiperspirant/deodorant when you don't have to and shower daily (or whenever possible, if more than daily)Health Question & Answer
