Any improvement over night?  My first thought was you as I woke up at 8.30

The itch has moved down my inner ams now and still underarms ! Spreading !

I hate that  .  After breast surgery when a nerve was cut I periodically get an itch that moves    …… I have to scratch gently if that makes sense?

Going on hunt for new deodorant tomorrow

Don't forget: deodorant is designed to stop bacteria causing smells; antiperspirant stops sweat leaving the body by blocking pores so sweat leaks from elsewhere.

Trust is good (but not as good as it used to be!) You put a little tiny amount on after a shower at night, wash it off in the morning and no odour for several days (used to be over a week but they've reformulated so is about 3 days now). Works a treat. Effectively your sweat does not smell during the time it's working.

It could be a fungal skin infection.

Might be worth having a chat with your local chemist.

ERRRgggh   - sweat is odourless  until bacteria gets it's teeth into it.

Got very mild steroid cream. Off gp for itching as no rash etc she no idea what it is says could be deodorant but normally red sore could be heat but normally red etc stumped !

[CLKD]

Both stumped  .  I suggest that you don't use anything under there apart from the steroid cream.  How long did she suggest that you apply it?

[walking the dog]

Apply twice day as needed I forget for how long oh dear prob not more than a,week?

[CLKD]

As needed = when the area itches?   I had steroid cream after radiation treatment but was warned to use only a very small amount to ease the 'sat in the sunshine' look I had developed

Thank you 😊

I have been reading about this online and the bit that alerted my attention was that it is quite common in pregnancy due to the hormonal fluctuations.

Could it be as simple as another disturbance of the menopause hormonal turmoil?
