Armpit rash is one of the most common skin conditions. It's caused by bacteria and yeast growing under the arms.
It can be triggered by sweating or a new antiperspirant and can get exacerbated if you don't take steps to keep your armpits clean.
How to prevent rash under armpits?
Here are some tips for treating armpit rash:
1) Wash your armpits with mild soap or bodywash
To clean the area, use a washcloth or loofah to gently scrub in circles. Be careful not to rub too hard, as you don't want to irritate the skin further. If you have broken skin from shaving, avoid using soap on it till it heals completely.
Alcohol-based products like astringents and antiperspirants can dry out already irritated armpits and cause further irritation, so avoid them at all costs.
2) Rinse thoroughly
Rinse your armpits thoroughly to make sure that you're not leaving soap residue on your skin. That can irritate the area and make it even more painful, so make sure to go over all areas of your armpit with a washcloth or loofah sponge.
Avoid using harsh soaps that have alcohol or fragrance in them, as these can be drying for sensitive skin. Instead, choose a mild cleanser made specifically for sensitive skin types. Read More…
