vaseline is good, but this works even better:
somebody on here recommended it, so i can't take the credit, helps heal while preventing the rash.

Shave your armpits. That's what I do in the Summer. It should pretty much eliminate the issue.

Two causes of rash that I noticed, one... not surfing as frequently, so your skin doesn't have a chance to toughen up.
Two... Putting on a few extra pounds. The new roll of fat under your arms rub and create irritations that were non-existent in skinnier days.
Usually the two causes happen simultaneously.
