skin irritation?

Question:

I have a painful raised mass of skin under my arm. Not sure if this was caused by shaving, depilatories or my deodorant. How do I get rid of it fast.

Answers:
This sounds like something that happened to me. In my case, it was using that stinging type of deoderant right after shaving. Try using the powdered kind of deoderant instead of liquid and not right after shaving.

Use Tend Skin its really good for skin irritations caused by hair removal or for ingrown hair.otherwise if it doesnt help just go to a dermatologist.and try not to have any deodrant on at night and clean the skin well and put TEND skin on and in a few days it should clear up..Good luck.

See a doctor.

It might be what's called a skin tag. Look it up. Sorry.

If it's a mass..it could be a boil. This is caused from dirt rubbing into the skin.causes a bad bump and pain. The best you can do, if this is the case, is keep it properly clensed.if the irritation and swelling occur for more than 2 days, I would contact your physician.

Why do you have to say that you are very clean?

Wouldn't that naturally be assumed, or would the natural assumption be the opposite?

OTC cortizone cream is only for short-term. Your skin gets "addicted" to it if used chronically.

If cortizone cream causes it to get worse (you would notice it almost immediately), it could be a fungus / yeast or bacterial infection. The cortizone makes them reproduce more.

Due to the fact that you say it is painful, you should see a doctor.

I don't think it is syphilis.
