Armpits

So I didn't know whether to post this in here or sporners corner.
I wash (shower at least daily) and use a good antiperspirant. I don't normally smell.
But..having shaved recently I noticed a couple of whiteheads under my pits. When I squeezed them a little white puss type stuff came out but it stank of BO and deodorant.
Anyone any ideas? I do wash properly, honest!

Armpit pores can get clogged with deodorant. I had no clue until I read a post on here a few months ago!

I think that's exactly what I've got! Any idea on a solution?

Do you use soap or shower gel?

Soap properly cleans whereas shower gel doesn't. I don't smell or get those little spots with soap but I do with shower gel.

Perhaps you should try waxing instead of shaving?

I used to use soap but got out of the habit so I think I'll swap back, good idea.
Waxing brings me out in a horrible rash.

try using a mild exfoliating scrub on them, it can help prevent ingrowing hairs too
