Itchy armpits

Itching in armpit.

I will tell you about a common skin irritation during which a person has a strong desire to burn the armpit area.

The course of treatment is individual and depends on the cause, for example, it may be necessary to take medication, change the deodorant, maintain proper hygiene or manage the process in the body (sometimes it is a side symptom of the disease).

Along with itchy armpits, you may suffer from other symptoms or just the itchiness may be a discomfort. If the itching is bothersome and you can't relate it to anything, we recommend consulting a specialist to determine the underlying cause.

Along with armpit itching, you may notice the following symptoms:

  • Swelling on the skin;
