Skin Irritation With No Rash Just Behind My Right Armpit

Hi for the past week i have had some skin irritation with no rash/redness to it (almost like a sunburn feeling) just behind my right armpit. Almost seems to connect to my armpit. I have not have sun exposure there in a very long time so i know its not from the sun. Pain is manageable but annoying. Any suggestions for home treatment would be nice.

Hi,Dan,
Thanks for query,
It seems that you might have some allergy to clothes or some deodorant you use.
It is also possible that you might have some fungal infection.
Keep that part more airy,
Apply antifungal cream or talc,moisturizing cream.
Take anti histaminic like cetrizine as and when required.
Keep that part hygienic.
Ok and bye.
