I have itching in my underarm area. What could be the cause?

Asked by Male, 30 ยท 27 days ago

Itching in the underarm area is quite common and is usually caused by sweat and friction, poor hygiene, allergic reactions to deodorants or soaps, or a fungal infection such as Tinea corporis, especially in warm and humid conditions. It can also occur due to bacterial infection, shaving irritation, or conditions like eczema. Keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton clothes, avoiding perfumed products, and not scratching can help, and you may use an antifungal or soothing cream if advised by a doctor. However, if the itching is severe, persistent, associated with redness, rash, or darkening of the skin, it is best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
