Hi, Help i have a problem.

when i get stressed my arm pits itch, its driving me mad, for a month now i've been acting like a monkey.I haven't changed any thing like my razor,roll on etc
My mate told me she had the same thing age's ago and that it could be dry skin but i couldn't see any, been using mosteriser for a week now and still the same, i'm not sweating or anything either.

Your advise please and has anyone had this before?????:help:

not being a medic I cant swear to this but....

there is a large concentration of sweat glands in the armpits, and stress will cause a rise in your general body temp, which will lead to rapid sweating which in turn could be causing the itchiness...

Don't put ANYTHING on them, moisturiser included. Armpits are very sensitive. Just wash with unperfumed soap, and not Dove either, for a few days and see how it goes.

Don't think it my glands, and i'll try not using perfumed stuff, today it's not been that bad but yesterday they itched for an hour at least.

fraid i dont have any advice other than not putting anything on them but water..


... my legs ave been itching constantly for a couple of months too... perhaps someone is spraying everyone with itching powder!! :P

you can get olive oil blocks of soap from Down to Earth, Bean Beanies or the place in town and possibly also TKMaxx.

Have you changed anything else, e.g. washing powder, fabric conditioner, shower gel etc.?

sorry, couldnt resist :)

No not changed a thing, that was the first thing i thought of, even checked my wardrobe for a new top that may be irratating me, But nothing.

Lol bell, but thats what i feel like and i'm guessing thats how i look with my hands under my pits.:clap:

Sounds like a sweat rash.Can be a fungal infection.The Docs is definitely the place to go.
