What Causes A Rash In The Underarm?

My doctor said my underarm rash was due to allergy, but I do not use deodorant and I take allergy pills daily. Is there another possible cause? It does not itch. It is not scale or bumpy. It s just a red circle in both my armpits. (PS. I do shower regularly.)

Hello,

Allergic rashes usually itch dear . You can have a sample tested by a microbiologist to see what kind of morphology it shows and then we can make a diagnosis . You can apply some steroid ointment on it and if it's allergic it will go but that will require a prescription . Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
