Ask Health: How to Soothe Itchy Underarm Skin

October 10, 2008

Q: My underarm skin is raw and itchy. How can I protect against odor without making things worse?
A: Women come into my office all the time complaining about redness, itching, and burning under their arms. Sometimes the cause is as simple as a dull razor nicking the skin, but more commonly a product is to blame.

No matter how hard you try to protect your skin with sky-high SPFs and floppy hats, UV rays still manage to make their mark during the summer months. “The sun strips away moisture and revs up pigment-making cells, leaving skin dull, dehydrated, and uneven,” says Kenneth Howe, MD, clinical instructor of dermatology at Mt.

The good news? Sun damage can be easily remedied—so easily, you can do it in your sleep. It’s best to repair damage at night rather than during the day, Dr. Howe says, “because the most potent pigment- and wrinkle-fighting formulas rely on ingredients that make skin more vulnerable to sunlight.” Just follow these simple steps before bed.
