TreatmentĪrmpit rashes can be soothed by using doctor-prescribed anti-itch creams or over-the counter creams, applying moisturizers, particularly if the rashes are caused by dry skin and eczema, and by using cool compresses, as armpit rashes are usually caused by heat. Ringworm is a prevalent type of fungal infections that causes a red of silver ring-like rash. It triggers a rash that is swollen, itchy, and sometimes scaly. This is a type of eczema that develops around oil-producing glands and causes red, greasy looking bumps that are itchy and may sometimes have yellow or white flakes.Ĭandida is a type of yeast that causes fungal infections. These bumps are usually present in and around the hair follicles. People who pluck their armpit hairs may experience itchy and painful bumps after removing hair or shaving the underarm area. Contact dermatitis can be caused by allergens that found in cleaning products, cosmetics, food, and insect sting or bites.

Rashes on the armpits may also be caused by contact dermatitis, which are usually dry, red, itchy, and sometimes even blistered. Since armpits have active sweat glands, heat and friction can lead to tiny bumps that are red and itchy. Heat mixed with sweat can cause irritation that is known as heat rash. Exercising or wearing fit gym clothing can also cause chafing rashes. The rashes are usually red, raw or with the top layer of the skin rubbed off, it may sting or burn, can appear in streaks, and may even be swollen, cracked, or crusted. Areas of the body where the skin folds over itself such as the armpit, are prone to chafing. CausesĬhafing rashes are caused when the skin rubs hard against itself or clothing for too long. Some armpit rashes are long-lasting, and may be a sign of underlying health conditions that require medical attention and treatment. But first, the cause of the rash should be determined because that will make it easier to find relief. This can be caused by many things, but fortunately, there are treatments that can address them. Armpit rashes can be bumpy and red or scaly and white. The armpit is a prime spot for irritation.
