Strange one, exercising and arm pits

Guitarjon

Hi guys,

Since getting fit and active I've noticed I get quite an annoying itch under my arm pits. Tends to be during exercise and sometime after, if I don't do anything for a couple of days it tends to disapear until I start up again. I've swapped aerosol deodorant/anti perspirant for a roll on to see if this solves it and nothing.

There is no rash or irritation. Should I ignor it? I've also noticed (and this is gross) that my arm pit hairs are quite long and often knot, is this normal for a man lol?

have you tried trimming it? it's probably just irritated from chaffing and sweating...it's not gross, it'e very normal. Go to a body shop or holistic shop and try the shower stone, that might work too

Two suggestions:
1) Trim your hair. Not shaved like a woman, but use a #3 (or so) electric trimmer.
2) Baby powder. Use before and after workout to absorb extra moisture.
