For Doc Sqad: odd rash in armpit
10 Answers
Got an odd rash started in my left armpit. Haven't changed deodorant, shower gel etc. nor is washing powder & fab soft different. It's been there about 10 days, very itchy. Sudocream night & morning after a shower + towel dry hasn't cleared it up. If anything the red bit is getting bigger.
Any ideas, please? here's a pic http://yfrog.com/1qimage0203sj

The doc said it was often the case with men that they use too much deodorant, don't wash it off thoroughly before applying more and so, as they don't shave their armpits as women do, tended to get a build up which causes dermatitis & infections. Leave off using deodorant for a few days (I know) & only use something like Simple products and get a diagnosis & some cream from your gp. My son's rash was awful before he did anything about it, you don't want that to happen.
What deodorant are you using at the moment? It reminds me of my partner, he was using Lynx since he was a teenger and had no problem with it until abt 2 yrs ago and it took a while for us to figure it out so he tried to change the deodorant to see if any different, and the rash has gone. He's currently using fcuk anti-perspirant deodorant and has no problem with it so far. Let us know how it goes.
