under arm rash

Hi I am getting red coloured pimple sort of things in my left underarm and then they have a little burning sensation or a day and the next day they feel itchy and then it leaves a red coloured mark .I am not allergic to anything i guess. I started using wax in my under arms and i dont know if its the cause. but i use the same wax on my legs and i dont have any problem on my legs. it started with one pimple and then in the past 2 months they became like 10 .
May i know the reason and the cure for this problem. i never had this before.i dont use any deodrants and i dont have too much of sweat either.

I get it all the time. My cousin actually gets it SEVERE. I can tell you if I switch deodorants and I to alot of work with my arm rubbing my side it can get irritated too. Some times it does it on its own and it will be a small spot the size of a nickel but it will be very irritated almost burning sensation. Its very common to get underarm red areas and irritation. It will go away dont worry. If its not killing you pain wise, I would jut let it run its course. L8Er
