This is a rather odd predicament, and lately I've become a little worried.
About a year ago my armpits started getting really itchy. Insanely itchy. For around two weeks I'd find myself scratching desperately to get rid of the itching, and, after a while, it would work for a time. The itching would come back very often several times a day: the sensation would pop up a few dozen times per day. Well, one day the itching stopped, but not under the conditions I'd have like it to.
Basically, I got to the point where scratching actually hurt, so I stopped and drowned my pits in anti-itch powders and soaps, which did nothing but mildly supress the sensation. I can't remember exactly when it stopped, but eventually the itching went away.
The itchiness has begun to resurface lately, thankfully not in the same frequency and intensity as before. The last time this happened I ended up scratching to the point that the skin under my arms changed colour. Currently the skin looks to be a khaki colour -- the rest of me is white. Another thing that's been troubling me is that certain deodorants actually hurt to apply now.
I figure this is a problem that would require the insight of a dermatologist, but unfortunately mine is in high demand and making an appointment for some time soon is impossible. What I'd like to know is what would cause such intense itchiness, if the colour change indicates anything about the condition of my arms, what does it indicate, and is it reversible?

I'm no expert, but I believe that allergies can develop where there was no problem before.
Check the aluminum content. I bought like 10 sticks of this specific kind of Right Guard. Most has the much higher aluminum content.
I switched to stick deoderant by.. i forgot who maybe it was Right Guard, too. And it was fine. I use Axe now, and no itch. But yeah, gel just owns me I think.
edit: oh both the ones that are fine are white sticks.
