Hey did you ever get a diagnosis and was the itching constant or in waves 

Hi milly_elizabeth thanks for replying to my post. No, I didn't get a diagnosis. I haven't had any tests at the hospital. The itching started of as constant, but recently it has been a bit better. I've had bloods taken at the doctors, but they couldn't find anything wrong. Since January I've been getting a dull ache in the left side of my stomach which radiates round the back. I am waiting for an ultrasound on my upper stomach area. I don't know if it's all related. 

Okay thank you for your reply I hope it gets sorted soon xx

Hi

Went to the doctors full blood work

They did not no what it was and still got the symptoms

But I am a type 2 dietetic 

And they put it down to my nerves been damaged 

Hi Itchy armpit 

Not sure if you've had a diagnosis yet but I've been the same for the last 18 months it drives you mad and there is no rash so you feel like a fraud,only one armpit as well (left) 

Did all the usual things suggested by gp however when I was at a hospital appointment on another matter I told them and they took a swab not got the results back yet however they gave me cream dermavate only available on prescription within 12 hours the itch was gone has came back but I put the tiniest bit on and it goes away .GP has now put it on my repeats and the hospital has suggested it may be lichen planus or lichen sclerosis.just waiting on that getting confirmed 

Hope this way have been some help to you as I know how you must have suffered

Take Care 

Hi

I also have itchy armpits and don't know why. Have tried no deo, not shaving as others have and nothing resolved it. 

I developed two conditions last Autumn, one I needed a low dose shingles medication for called Aciclovir, it was to treat recurrent sores in my nose. But the side effects were itchy scalp, forearms and armpits. I haven't taken the Aciclovir for months now, the itchy scalp and forearms have gone but my armpits are still itchy!

At the same time as starting the Aciclovir (possibly caused by it?) I developed Lichen Sclerosus. It was confirmed by my gynaecologist by having a biopsy. The topical treatment is Dermovate when it flares up. Out of desperation I tried just a very small amount of Dermovate on one of my armpits and it worked.

When I discussed with my gynaecologist and gp they seemed to think the suggestion itchy armpits may be linked to the Lichen Sclerosus is very unusual. I might just use the Dermovate occasionally to get some relief.

Hi Jude 2 

Ive now been confirmed from gynaecologist as having Lichen Sclerosus and she said they're hearing more of itchy armpits been linked to this condition but it's good know at least we can get some relief it was driving me mad  

Hi jannigran

Thanks for your reply, it is interesting to hear about our similar conditions and the possible link to Lichen Schlerosus
