Itchy armpits?
Question:
oh and my pits have little red bumps on them. i think it might be from scratching idk
Answers:
Sounds like you have "razor
burn" from shaving too much,
and using a dull razor.
Never put on deodorant right
after shaving.
Let the hair grow some under
your arms--put a good moisterizer under there. Don't use a deodorant for a couple
days. Use some mild soap
and water instead.
You have ingrown hairs from shaving. Buy a cream for that at the drugstore.
use any type of Dove deoderent it really helps!
Guttate psoriasis. This form of psoriasis usually affects children, teenagers, and young adults. It often appears after a bacterial infection, such as strep throat. Its typical symptoms are red, scaly, raindrop-shaped spots on the skin, usually over the abdomen, arms, legs and scalp. It can often clear up on its own without treatment.
Pustular psoriasis. The typical symptoms of pustular psoriasis are pus-filled blisters on the skin. The blisters usually dry up, turn brown, become scaly and peel off. The lesions usually occur on the hands and feet.
Erythrodermic psoriasis. Symptoms include red and scaly skin over large areas of the body. This condition can evolve from other forms of psoriasis or be triggered by psoriasis treatment. It can also be triggered by withdrawal from drugs such as corticosteroids (often taken for diseases such as asthma).
Inverse psoriasis. In people with this condition, dry and bright red patches appear in folds of skin, for instance under the breasts, in the armpits, or on the genitals. This type of psoriasis can be exacerbated by obesity.
Progression of Psoriasis
Psoriasis doesn't have any set way of progressing. It develops differently depending on the person. Some people may only have occasional and minor symptoms for their entire lives. Others may have to cope with severe symptoms on a regular basis.
In most people, the symptoms come and go. Flare-ups might be brought on by some of the conditions mentioned above, such as dry weather or stress.
Untreated, extremely severe psoriasis can be dangerous. Although it happens very rarely, if lesions cover enough of the body, the immune system can become overwhelmed. This increases your risk of developing serious bacterial infections. Be sure to see your doctor immediately if your psoriasis spreads to cover large parts of your body or if you show signs of infection, such as fever.
Coping with psoriasis can be exhausting and frustrating. It's important to try to stay emotionally and physically healthy during treatment.
You may have developed an allergy to the type of deodarent you are using...same thing happened to me,, i switched to arm and hammer and the irritation went away... good luck..
You might have an allergic reaction to the shaving cream/gel that you have used, shower and rinse the armpits in cold water. . I have sensitive skin. I would not use it again until the bumps are gone. I have reactions to certain soaps, laundry detergents, jewelry etc.
