Hello Doctor, I am 24 year old girl. I am having problem of itching armpits from 6-7 years but it was just itching and was very rare. But now it have became frequent from last 1 month. Due to itching my skin get irritated. I get itching only in fold areas of armpit and specifically middle bigger fold.according to my schedule,I used sit for hours in formal dress but quite comfortable so that armpits not get irritated with cloths and proper ventilation.one more thing, I didn t get time to remove armpit hair for last 2 months. Is it reason for itching?I use clean and dry wash for cleaning armpits.please help me.

Hello
You are having fungal infection in your armpit. Due to lack of ventilation in the affected area your armpit getting moist and developing fungal infection.
You may use sleeveless dress and intermittently aerate the affected area. Use clotrimazole lotion and itraconazole capsules 200mg once daily for at least two weeks. Can sprinkle clotrimazole dusting powder. Take tab levocetirizine to get rid of itching.
Hope this information helps you
