Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of small itchy bumps in underarms which is mainly due to hair follicle infection leading to folliculitis. It could be due to an allergic reaction, contact dermatitis and excessive sweating.
Need not to worry. For now, keep your underarm area clean and dry. You should not apply for any cosmetic product. Liv Cetz you can take to prevent inflammation. Protect your skin from direct sunlight and apply cold compresses on it. If the condition doesn't get well then consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may order a blood test, skin patch test along with physical examination. The doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants, corticosteroid along with antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
