I have the same problem with Macy because she is a cotton coat and mats just by looking at her. I try to keep the underarms cut really short but when mats happen I try to put a comb between her skin under the arm and the mat and just cut it out. I have luck with a product called Cowboy Magic. I put a little on the matted hair and gradually work it out with my fingers a little each night. Good luck, that area is really tender.
