What Causes Discomfort In The Armpit After Using Deodorants?
Hello! I have discomfort in one arm pit that feels like there is a plugged gland. There is no swelling or redness. It seems to have started when I used one of the stronger deodorants on the market, I have stopped using deodorant altogether and it seems better. Do I need further examination? (I forgot to mention it at my recent physical).

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to contact dermatitis due to the deodorant.
I suggest stopping using the triggering factor which is the deodorant.
I also suggest to use Calmine lotion for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
