I got it under both armpits. Used once as my first ever Old Spice before going outside one Summer day and went I got home I noticed the discolouration, raised bumps, burning and itching. Never used Old Spice again.

At first the affected area was smaller but gradually ended up spreading to most of my armpits over time.

I did go to the doctor and got a steroid cream I believe which actually seemed to work, but as soon as the 2 weeks where I was supposed to stop using the medication, it came back eventually.

I still deal with the discolouration, my armpit hairs definitely don’t grow as much as they used to as most of the areas covered by the burns aren’t able to grow hair anymore apparently.

I still deal with occasional intense itchiness in my armpits which I scratch for relief. Other than that, my life is normal. I plan to go back to the doctor soon to eventually really get a name of what I suffered actually is. Whether it’s an allergic reaction, burn, fungal infection etc.
