Specializes in Dermatology

ARMPITS BROKEN OUT: Do your armpits itch? Is there a rash? Are they lumps or boils? If they just itch, it may be due to the soap you are using. Change to dove or cetaphil; change you antiperspirant/deodorant; wash your blouses ANS sweaters and shirts in all free & clear (don't know if you are female or male) if it persists, see a dermatologist.

If pain comes and goes in armpits for over a year and a half, with no other symptoms, no lumps, should I be worried? It's very minor discomfort (1of 10) and usually only happens on stretching arm up very high, I worry all the time about this, help?
