i have a rash on my arm and i struggle to wear nice clothes because the rash looks really bad. i think it started when i started to use antiperspirant spray under my arm and now i've stopped using it but it is still there. when they dry, they leave a scar behind and it looks very very BAD and when i started to use another deodrant spary, another rash developed on my BACK! i only spary it on my clothes on the front!
i just want to know, are there anyone out there who is suffering from the same problem? or is there anyone who is allergic to deodrant sprays because i am not sure whether i am.
does anyone know a cure for it because the doctors don't know, just imagine, i can't wear my nice party clothes because the rash is visible and it lets everything down.

I cannot use traditional deodorant/antiperspirant for more than a few days at a time. I have very sensitive skin and the metallic ingredients build up in my skin and break out my underarms, including itching, rash and irritation in general. I have even had cyst like bumps under my arms that were created by these harsh antiperspirants. When I began using a more natural product, these problems cleared up very quickly. The one that I use now is Tom's of Maine and it does not irritate my skin at all. I recommend it. Good luck.

It could be eczema. Not sure of how it is spelled however it will help to not wear anything tight around the area it needs to breathe. Heat will make it worse as well as putting perfumed items. buy a small tube of lamisil or something for fungus feet. Put a small amount on affected spot for a few days 2 times a days. It should clear up in a week or less

Sounds like an allergic reaction and you may need a prescription cream at this point to control it. Absolutely stop using the spray deoderant. Don't spray your clothes! Dove makes a deoderant for sensitive skin, I would try that (even if you are a guy). Please see a doctor if it doesn't get better, you may just need a simple Rx cream to heal it!

I don't have any medical resources but I do know that when I was younger, I could only use bar soap and no deodorant. It took a couple of years and didn't leave any scarring but nowadays I can wear any deodorant and use any soap. You may want to check your laundry detergent too if that got changed recently. I know that certain detergents in the laundry can cause burns.
