my armpits are really painfull, really sore, theyve been like it for a few days now, ive had similar things before but they were more like lumps, and were put down to stress. but this time its a bit diffrent and i'm not really that stressed...anyone any ideas?

sore as in sore under the skin or sore as in raw skin? could be swollen glands, mean you're coming down with something or are getting over something. if its just your skin maybe its an allergy to your deodorant.

its just sore as in it hurts, it doesn't look red or anything theres like maybe little lumps. yeah it may be an allergy i'm allergic to loads of products, this deodrent seemed fine tho...i might try and get to the doctors but i'm working allllllll week :frown:

maybe it's to do with getting over heated, maybe something to do with your sweat glands??

sometimes when i get that its because i shaved it raw :-\
and sometimes it can be an infected hair follicle..umm other than that...put some cream on it :smile:

Hmmm wrong stuff put on arm pits...i put aftershave on mine once, by mistake obviously, just before a job interview - it burnt me big time....i was in agony in interview but still got the job despite my sweat marks really prominent - i was in a rush so couldnt change - wanted to wear jumper at interview but my mum insisted upon me wearing just the shirt...

ahhh blóódy hurt it did....any alcohol in any product, in any form, is not good or healthy for you!

i had this for no particular reason, it lasted for about a week. Was very painful and i could barely move my arms.Just try not to use deodorants etc if u can as this will oviously irritate the skin. I also used e45 moisturiser to sooth the skin. If it doesn't begin to go down soonish then see you doctor.
