Just my luck babyjane but at least I'm not pregnant 😊

I always thought it was the antiperspirant bit that made me itch - it did not go red but feels like there is a layer of something on the skin that comes off with a good soaping in the shower.

Hope it is not pregnancy

I also itch if I shave too often.  shaving takes off a very fine top layer of skin cells so if it happens too often there could be a reaction even if you don't see it.

I usually use talc and shave dry with a sharp razor and have no problems.  I used to have problems if I used soap in the shower though and end up both sore and itchy.  You would think it would be the other way round.

That's how it feels dahliagirl like want to scrape a layer off ! Got the steroid cream today

Applied cream last night and this morning and itching no where near as bad

Hi all, I get itchy under my arm pits, I thought that I had become allergic to my usual deodorant but was told it down to declining hormone level on your glands, oh happy days, another symptom along with everything else, wish I was 21 again. Xx

I've started with this recently since reducing my patch strength, I've lost count but it must be @ symptom #599 !

Mine have calmed down since stopped using roll on and went back to impulse body spray but aboutvyear ago had stop body spray to roll on with rashes etc! It seems its,a balancing act in my case

I have this at the moment! Recently stopped HRT completely as it didn't pan out at all well for me on the Estrogel, so my guess is the composition of my sweat has changed. I have to resist clawing away......it's really annoying!

Put some talc there  …….. think of what is used on a baby's bottie ;-)

I find shaving very drying so only do it when wearing sleeveless tops or I end up with a very itchy rash.

I also find that some water has quite a lot of chlorine in it. I'm fine with ours which is a private supply with no chemicals in it, but was away last week & started to get a flare up of my eczema. Also happens if i'm stressed.

UK tap water does not have anything that can be detected unless the system has gone 'wrong'.  If you are worried about your water supply, do ask your Supplier to come to the house and do free tests!!!!  It will tell you on the appropriate web-site if there has been a problem. 

ALL water supplied to householders, unless from a certified Spring or pump, has been treated.  Again, if you look on the appropriate web-site you will find details.  If your supply is un-cholorinated, you may well end up with Legionellas Disease!!!
