What Could Be The Reasons For Itchy Rash Under Arm Pit, Headache, Puffy Eyes And Vomiting?
I have an itchy rash under both my armpits for about 2 months now. I have tried changing my deodrant and wearing loose clothing but nothing is work. I wash reguarly so its definitely not that. I am now very fatigue and tired with really bad headaches, which makes my eyes feel puffy. I am also vomiting too. Just need some advice on what to do really?

Hi,
Itching in axilla may be due to either candidosis or irritant/ allergic contact dermatitis. Perspiration may increase the itching. Take antihistaminics like levocetirizine. Clotrimazole dusting powder may be sprinkled in axillae. Avoid deodarant and soap bath. You may use dettol liq. for bath. For other complaints you consult physician. He may go for blood tests for the diagnosis. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
