Most likely it is an allergy to the deodorant - try one without Aluminum - there are natural options like Tom's that work really well. Also always wash in the morning prior to application and any time you reapply as well as before sleeping to remove any residue. To treat a break out go without deodorant and opt for witch hazel and a scented body powder like shower to shower. The other culprit is the razor - use a twin blade only and always shave with the growth of your hair. Good Luck!

you may want to go to a dermatologist and have it looked at I started doing the same things a few years ago and it got worse and started being all year round I'm not sure if what you are describing is the same thing but what i have is a condition called hydrenitus supperative its not anything that can harm you or can be contagious its just a big bummer to have to deal with they say to wear as little deoderant as possible and to refrain from wearing tight clothing around the armpits my suggestion is to go to your dermatologist to see why your underarms is breaking out like that

It could be your deodorant, do you use it in the winter?
It may be the heat, a heat rash
It may be the fact that you shave more in the summer
Try using an antiperspirant deodorant...that may help.
Try using some bikini zone too, that might get rid of the bumps.
If nothing else works try hydorcortizone cream=)

Might be a heat rash. Try a different deoderant that absorbs sweat.

it is heat rash. you'll want to keep the area dry and open. do not put lotion on the area. Use a powder deoderant and wear loose fitting clothes or tank tops.

Sounds to me like a sensitivity to your deodorant, combined with a reaction to your own sweat. Yes, you can be allergic to yourself..........I know it's weird, but it's true!!
Consult a physician, sweetie. They can give you a medicated cream that will relieve the itching and breakout so you can be comfortable.
And it isn't gross.......I get a rash when I sweat under both my breasts. It burns and itches........and only a prescription will stop it.

heat rash...you can try changing your deoderant and when you arent running around sweating keep then open and dry.
Be careful shaving them as well.
Baby powder can help too.

I would only wear deodorant when you really have to, the rest of the time just dust them with Gold Bond powder or cornstarch baby powder to help keep them dry. When you shave your underarms be sure to use something very moisturizing and use a good razor.

It might be a weird reaction to your deodorant when you do sweat. My friend had that, when she would sweat it would react with the deodorant and she would get bad breakouts. Try sensitive skin by Dove.
