The picture basically explains it all.. Irritated painful almost sores underneath both arms.. I don't think it's any allergic reaction because I don't use shaving cream there but I'm at a tennis camp and want to get rid of it fast!

Could it be ingrown hairs?

To me it looks like a heat rash, I get it every summer! Nothing to worry about. To calm the itchiness, I use calendula (marigold) ointment. Don't scratch it at all and it'll be gone in a week or less.

It might be razor burn? To soothe it you could try taking a cotton ball and dipping it in witch hazel and put it on there. I had the same thing for a while too! Make sure you use a clean razor and rinse with cold water :) it helps a lot! Good luck

Try to limit your shaving to every three days and maybe change your deodorant it may not be working its best anymore (I change brands every two or three months) this happens to me when I shave continuously and when my razor starts to get dull.

It might be ingrown hairs that's what it looks like - you can google remedies but exfoliation helps and moisturizing after hair removal

It's irritating to the skin to shave everyday, do you splash cold water on the areas after shaving? It helps close the cuticle😊...
Follicle. The hair follicle...not cuticle..those..are nail...nevermind😅😋

Folliulitis...
Infected hair follicles
I get them too, prone to them actually. Very annoying.

Keep area dry, corn starch or powder, and only use fresh blades when shaving. Skintend helps. Exfoliate too.

You should avoid sweating, swimming, and harsh detergents for 12 to 24 hours after hair removal. Single blade razors are better... I know, ouch... not removing hair is ideal.. waxing, will help shrink the follicle, and decrease growth amount, and rate.
