Question: I started using a deodorant rock. My left armpit itched a few times and I've noticed it has developed a large brown spot.

Hello,

Thanks for posting the query.

The development of the brown spot, could be due to inflammation or due to allergy.

You can also upload images of the lesions in the right side of the query box, which after going through would help me in suggesting you better.

It seems that the lesion is most probably due to the allergic reaction to the deodorant that you have used. If this is the case you can try cetrizine tablet for a day or two which are available over the counter.

Please do confirm by writing here about the uploading of the photo as to suggest you at the earliest.

I would like to provide you with specific suggestions after going through the photo.

Awaiting your response.

Regards.
