I know someone that has a rash in her arm pit ? How can she get rid of it ?

Question

red splotches , spreades when she shaves

Answer 1

use a different shaving cream. And don't use deodorant for a day after shaving

Answer 2

Exfoliating will help with ingrown hairs but I am not sure if it is such a good idea if you also have a rash. There are deodorants available for sensitive skin - I think Dove makes these. You should try this to see if this is the problem. Alternatively, you could wax your armpits so you don't irritate the skin with a razor

Answer 3

stop shaving until it clears up.....avoid use of soaps in the area.....just clean with soft, warm cloths and thoroughly clean the clothes with bleach after use. Either she is getting razor burn from a dull razor or has a bacteria that she is spreading each time she shaves and should it get into the blood stream she is going to have more than a rash.

Answer 4

Probably a reaction to irritation. She needs to avoid irritation, which might mean finding a non-allergetic deoderant as well as not shaving for a while (she can tell people she's from Europe).

Avoid soap in the area as well -- use tons of water instead. Honest, really, seriously, water alone will get it clean unless she's got an oily or greasy mess (like my hands when I work on cars).

Answer 5

Vasiline! Some people use baby powder; however, I do not subscribe to this practice. Baby powders, foot powders make things smell nice and absorb moisture, but it also retains that moisture and does not go anywhere. The final result is an additional insult to the skin. Avoid the deodorant/anti-perspirant that she is presently using. Before continuing with another, consult a physician.
Hope this helps. :)

Answer 6

put lotion or powder on it after it is dry
