"Underarm irritation"

It is recommended to avoid applying anything like deodorant or perfume to the affected area for some time. If you do not have any medication allergies and are not currently taking any medications, you can get a 1% hydrocortisone cream from the pharmacy to apply twice a day. After the cream dries, apply a fragrance-free moisturizing cream at least three times a day. Avoid using scented soaps and be gentle when drying the irritated area after a shower or bath. You can also apply a clean, damp, cold towel if you experience itching during the day.
