| Ok totally embarrassing asking this.....rash...
Ok so this is going to embarrass me more than anyone else....I have been running on the treadmill a lot longer than I have before, and for almost 3 weeks now have had almost like a rash on my arm pits. Looks worse than it feels. It is itchy sometimes, which sucks. Anyone else gotten this before? I have been wearing a t-shirt to the gym but I don't know why it won't go away.

Have you changed your laundry soap or deoderant lately? with the sweating from the gym that could cause a rash. And if thats the case it wont go away until you try something that doesnt bother you.

That's rather odd. I've been running for a while too, but haven't experienced anything like that.
Do you keep your arms close to your body? Maybe just the action of running is giving you the rash?

Yeah I do keep my arms close to my body. That is why I thought maybe I have this. It is rather painful tonight. But weird cause once I start itching it it does not seem to stop.

Maybe put some cream on it?

Yeah I have put cortisone cream to stop the itching. But if I don't touch it it does not itch. Once i do it itches like crazy. LOL
I know totally gross. I really think it is sweat and friction. OH well.

You could be allergic to your own sweat, my daughter is and when she plays hard and her feet sweat she gets HUGE blisters.
Just a thought..

Yeah sorry to hear that Mike. Thanks for the advice. However that does make me sound pretty gross I guess.  This is all new to me. Only been 3 weeks or a bit more of this. Weird.

Maybe the shirts you're wearing are causing it by rubbing between your arm and pit.
Possibly go to a sleeveless polyester style. Or, if that does'nt work, maybe try
putting something like vaseline in the area to cut down on the friction.

Oh man that sounds irritating. 
I have gotten rubbing like that before but usually it is from a piece of material sticking out.

The thing is I wear tank tops when at the gym. So there is not shirt to get in the way.
Nothing has improved just yet. I tried jogging yesterday and the pain caused me to stop.
