Sweaty armpits are one thing... but itchy armpits? Yeah, it totally happens. So what do you about it? It depends on what's causing that itch. Here, we explain the most common causes of itchy armpits—and what to do about yours.
THE USUAL SUSPECTS
Fragrances from soap, laundry detergent, or dryer sheets are especially irritating on delicate underarm skin, which often has invisible microtears from shaving. Switch to fragrance-free products and apply a 1% hydrocortisone cream, such as Aveeno 1% Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Cream ($8, walgreens.com) to soothe the discomfort and rawness. If that doesn't do the trick, you'll need to look into other potential causes.
