I have an itchy armpit?

Is it possible that it is eczema? It's itchy, irritated and I also have the same thing that is appearing behind my knee

Hello Mrs
The armpit is indeed a very sensitive area and at risk of irritation
What I suggest for now is to use a moisturizing cream or lotion without perfume like Aveeno, Glaxal Base, Cutibase, Cerave or others, as often as necessary during the day (the same goes for the knee too)
Avoid scented soaps, as well as water that is too hot during the shower. After the shower, avoid rubbing the area too vigorously with the towel, and apply the moisturizer within 5 minutes of getting out of the shower.
I invite you to try this for 1 to 2 weeks. If the situation worsens or simply does not improve, I suggest consulting a doctor, purely as a precaution.
I hope this has been helpful to you, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
