sore underarm - 08:33 AM
(filed under 'general')
i've been sore under my right arm for a couple of days. it's really weird. it goes from the underside of my arm from halfway up to my armpit, all the way down, stratching around to the back a little bit, to about where my bra sits.
it's a skin thing & feels almost like a rash or a chemical burn, but there's nothing to see, no redness, no swelling, no spots or anything to indicate that there's any trauma to the skin. it's really bizarre.
it doesn't hurt a lot, but i can feel it especially when i move my arm & the sore parts rub against my shirt or my skin.
it's so odd that i can't see anything there, because for the life of me it really does feel like some sort of mild skin trauma. i shaved my armpits recently before i noticed the discomfort, but i'm sure that's nothing to do with it, because if it was, you'd think the other one would be sore, too. also, the sore bits stretch further up & down from where the underarm hair was shaved away.
i put a bit of papaw ointment on it last night & it kind of helped in the way that it might help a graze (you know, it sort of stopped it rubbing so much when i moved my arm) but it doesn't seem to be any different this morning. very odd.
if it continues, i suppose i'll see someone about it, but i'm not sure what i can show anyone since there's nothing to see. *shrugs* strange. very strange.
heat rash was my first guess. or perhaps some soap left on your bra irritating open pores from the heat. another dumb thought from dr. dave. lol
I have the same problem right now. I too shaved my arms two days ago and now my arms are sore. I also can't see any sign of skin damage. I used to think it was my arms rubbing against the underwire in my bra, but this time I haven't been wearing underwire! I have no idea what it is but if you find out could you please let me know.
I went on the net to see if I could find an answer to what I am feeling and there you were! This feeling is only on my right side and I also have spasm like cramp in my back under my wing on the right side. My side is sore at bra line also; but the picking is really bothering me. Did you go to your doctor or did the situation just go away? My right breast tissue is also sore! Any answers?

Could it be prickly heat rash? Just feels all prickly and sore, but can't see anything?
