Armpit hair

Okay, here's another one. My armpits are red and itchy and are driving me crazy. I assume it's an allergic reaction to my deodorant but wondered if there is an FFA connection with armpit hair too.

I've lost all the hair on my arms and my legs over the year (in hindsight, I noticed that way before I noticed my hairline), and my eyebrows have thinned significantly. Wondering if the armpits are another component.

Thank you!

Peggy,

I have been having the same issue with my right armpit and this is a recent development, probably started about two months ago.  It's driving me crazy too.  I thought it was the Secret deodorant/antiperspirant that I have used for ages so I switched to a Be Green deodorant.  It doesn't have antiperspirant in it and I hate the sticky, clammy feeling that I have so I will be trying other kinds.  Just hoping this is not another side effect of this stupid FAA.

I have also lost most of my hair on my legs, arms and underarms. No more shaving isn't so bad. I noticed this long before my hairline too.  My skin is extremely dry and itchy but not red.
