Hi,
Itchy armpits may be most probably due to candidal infection. Kindly consult dermatologist and have firm diagnosis.
I would suggest...
- antifungal like ketoconazole
- antihistaminics like levocetirizine
- antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream
- washing the area with antiseptic like Dettol liq
I hope this would be helpful.
Thanks.
