    I get the same problem sometimes, it is a build up of deodorant, and the build up can be from most roll ons, sprays or sticks. If you are more persistent with washing your armpits then it will eventually come off it's because the build up is water proof as a lot of deodorants are a waxy substance, don't worry unless your armpits are sore or itchy or both then it's nothing. But if you think it's something else then go to your GP.

    this is an obvious normal thing that happens to every one who uses deoderant. it sprays onto your hair and solidifies and goes white, the white stuff can also happen on your clothing as well. its normal
