2018-08-20 12:32:11
Hello, I have vitiligo and it is also under my arms. Recently my right underarm started getting super itchy. It happened a little bit time after I use razor for underarm for the first time. My left one is completely fine and I have been using veet cream for my underarms since a long time so I didnt think or it much. However now that I took shower today, my right underarm stung really bad and when I cheked it, i had a red big spot next to my vitiligo patch. It hurts. Please help

Don't worry, it will go automatically, just you can apply some antiseptic ointment. It's localized infection of a hair follicle, nothing to worry.
