Itchy armpits - perimenopause or fungal infection?

Very itchy and sore armpits over the past few days, and it's worse after I've had something there chafing.

I can't decide if it's really a symptom of my athlete's foot that I've been trying to get rid off for a few weeks, or hormonal. I'm about a week before my period so I am guessing hormonal but if it is an infection, it is literally driving me insane...

I can't use antifungal cream as it affects dopamine (and hormones too funnily enough, as it is an endocrine system disruptor medication), so makes my movement disorder symptoms worse.

I'm trying tea tree cream and hoping it will get better, as the burning and soreness is so awful.

Anyone else have itchy armpits?

Sorry for the pic of my hairy armpit! Lol 😄 It's not quite as red today but still sore in both armpits 😞
