So for about a month or more I've had this issue. I feel like I have razor burn in my arm pits. Its red, and the skin is like super flaky. Idk maybe its just a reaction to deoderant ( I havnt changed since before I got pregnant) and I havnt changed razors. :-/

Is this normal?

Your skin can get a lot more sensitive. Try different deodorants and razors

I thought I was the only one!!! I dont know if its common (I didnt have it with DS), but its a PITA.

It went away for about a week but its coming back. And Ive had it for months now. I dont know if it has anything to do with razors or deoderant because Ive used the same type for years, even with DS and it didnt happen with him.

I had some issues like that in the middle of my pregnancy. Also my skin on my chest, and belly peeled too. It resolved with some sensitive wash and dove deodorant. Our bodies do crazy things while pregnant.
