Burning sensation on the underarm

2026-05-18 03:37:51
I noticed a burning sensation and irritation on my right underarms yesterday. My underarms always look darker and have pigmentation since I shave the area often.  No waxing and I always shave. The last time I shaved was 3 weeks ago.   I noticed this irritation and been trying to air out the area as much as possible. The skin feels like burning when the arm is closed.  I tried applying Vaseline and aquaphour gel. It didn't help and the irritation continues. What could be the issue? What does it look like?

This looks more like irritation and friction or a mild skin inflammation than something dangerous 😊 many underarm issues improve well with proper care. Feel free to consult once I’ll guide you.
