What Causes Sticky Waxy Coating On Armpit Hair?

I'm a 36 year old male, and I've noticed over the past few weeks while showering that the hair in my armpits has begun to be coated with a waxy, sticky substance that won't wash off with any type of soap. When I touch it my fingers also get coated with this invisible substance. It persists whether I use deodorant or not, and causes chafing. What is this?
