Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems that you are having allergic dermatitis in your armpits. Appearance of pimple like rashes might be due to associated folliculitis. Only topical treatments are not likely to be sufficient. You need to have systemic antibiotics with anti allergics after consulting your dermatologist.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal
