And the hives have been flaring up quite a bit, last winter and again this summer after the bad allergy problems I had in June when we were in Massachusetts. So it is possible that the underarm chafing will subside as the current flare up subsides.
No solution for you NY Biker, just wanted to say "that sucks." I'm sometimes have itchy issues in my underarm area (and will spread all over if I don't get it under control) when I'm super stressed. Lotions and Benadryl usually helps. Mine only flares once every few years, I can't imagine dealing with it all summer. I'm sorry.
