If you've ever had armpit breakouts, you know how annoying it can get. This is all to know about how to get rid of them.
No one wants irritated or bumpy armpit skin, but the truth is that we expose our armpits to a lot of damage -razors, deodorants, soap and so on. But unfortunately, no one is free from getting armpit breakouts.
Common causes of armpit breakous
1. Folliculitis
This is the number one cause of pimples in the armpit area -this is when the hair follicles become inflamed or infected after the skin is open -a lot of times due to shaving. Ingrown hair can also result from waxing, shaving or tweezing.
2. Bacteria
The follicle can get infected and cause furuncles to form. In fact, blockage or infection of the hair follicles can cause pimples to appear.
How to prevent armpit breakouts
- Make sure your clothes are loose.
- Shave in the direction of the hair, use a fresh razor, and make sure never to dry-shave.
- Shower immediately after working out -this will prevent bacteria from growing.
- Laser hair removal is a good option.
