So a week or two ago, i began feeling very itchy in my underarm area, and now my underarm has brown patches, what are they and how do i treat them?

Hard to say: There are many possibilities and you need to see a doctor to find out which is the correct one. You could be allergic to your anti perspirant, fungal infection or other bacterial infection.
