The underarm region is a prime spot for irritating rash development due to it being hidden and sweaty. The sensitive skin around this area makes it highly vulnerable for itchy rashes. These rashes are usually red, bumpy, and itchy, and without care and treatment, the skin can darken from this area and an increased odor may arise.

 

Here is a way to soothe and heal the underarm rash:

 

  • Avoid wearing clothes that are too tight from the armpit area. The rubbing of fabric leads to irritation.

 

  • Always wear clean, and washed clothes. Use a non-irritating detergent and refrain from fabric softeners.

 

  • Stop shaving your underarms to let the skin heal. Instead, opt for waxing or using a hair removal agent.

 

  • Avoid powders, deodorants and soaps on the affected areas as these lead to further irritation.

 

  • Rub potassium alum, lemon, alcohol, or baking soda (diluted with water) at this area.

 

  • Keep a good hygiene to avoid fungal infections.

 

  • Always dry the underarm area after bathing.

 

  • Apply lotions and soothing creams to relieve the pain.
