I have pink spots in one armpit that are non itchy but burn and are sensitive to touch. Could this be from an under armor shirt irritating this area?

Weeping itchy rash (clear & thin fluid) above armpit that won't heal. Looks like eczema but never had problems with it before. Slightly raised, dark. How to heal? Maybe started with a razor burn, then turned worse and worse from scratching?
