Posted on Mon, 19 Feb 2024

Question: I am a 47 year old female. About three days ago after shaving with a dull razor I developed angry red bumps under armpit along with an itchy burning sensation. The red bumps are scattered around armpit a bit and very tender when pressed or when clothing rubs against it. It iis difficult to sleep at night due to friction. What is the cause and remedy?
