My brother has a rash on his armpit he has had it for at least 2 weeks and isn't showing any signs of going away.
He says it itches, its very bright red, weaps, and smells.
We thought it was a deoterizer he used but that would of cleared up by now
Please help. Thanks

Its called bacteria its there for a purpose the only way you could kill it is walking around like Popeye, with air hitting your armpits all the time the bacteria would go away completely it lives in warm moist environment of your body. Soap and water is temporary so is deodorant you might try looking at your diet are you drinking beer a lot that can make you sweat and the sweat is not pleasant to smell ever. If nothing else talk to a doctor you might be obsessed about something normal.

Definitely have him see a dermatologist. But if that's not possible for some reason, see if he can find some pine tar soap. Try washing with it in one area and see if there's any improvement before he uses it on both armpits.
Pine tar soap has helped cure some of the worst eczema and allergy rashs that I've ever seen. You can order it on line if needs be, but do test it on one small area before using it all over.

You have an infection usually fungal. Stop using Deordorant and make sure to wash and keep the area dry. Use some medicated powder in place of the deodorant. It will keep you dry. It should heal up in a few weeks. If you can though don't scratch!

sounds like a fungal problem, get some anti fungal cream or powder at a pharmacy, and don´t use deodorant,keep the armpet always clean and dry, use the anti fungal every 6 to 8 hours.

You can actually get yeast infections on the skin. My neice had something similar in the bend of her knee. Try using a yeast infection cream on it after baths and before bed, like Vagisil or something.

if he's gone deodarant free for at least a week, and it is still there, he needs to see a doctor

Ugh. Try aloe vera, from the plant...not the fake bottled stuff.
