Why Are My Son S Underarms Red And Sore?
my 11 year old son s underarms are red and raw (very irritated) i thot it may be due to his deodorant so i have switched brands several times. the Dove brand seemed to help but now its back worse than ever. he is overweight so im not sure if that might be a contributing factor. I have put hydrocortisone cream on it and it helps some. any suggestions?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of your son seems to be related to an allergic reaction.
The effectiveness of cortisone cream helps as through the diagnosis.
I suggest using a deodorant for sensitive skin.
Hope my answer was helpful.
