Lose skin causing problems

I’m a 37F and I’ve lost around 110 pounds. My highest weight was 318 pounds, so I am still over 200 lbs and probably not close to begin discussions for skin removal. However, even at my largest, I’ve experienced various issues with skin irritation and minor fungal infections in different places on my body. I’ve been able to successfully manage/heal those minor issues on my own and, in general, can prevent most from getting out of control. Currently, I do have quite a bit of excess skin on my arms, thighs and stomach. The skin surrounding my arm pits is SO irritated and inflamed. Naturally, when walking, my arms swing, so I have no idea how to prevent friction from occurring so the skin has the opportunity to heal. I am applying creams to treat any potential fungal issues, as I tend to sweat A LOT as well as a barrier ointment to help soothe as much as possible. Does anyone else struggle with their skin in this area? And have any other advice? Any particular type of clothing help?
