What are the dangers of plucking armpit hair

When summer comes, it is easy to sweat and the smell of sweat is also "pungent". Female friends try to pay attention to refreshing and breathable clothing, but the armpit hair under the armpit brings some obstacles to their dressing. It is not only unsightly, but also the sweat smell is particularly obvious. Some women choose to remove their armpit hair. Plucking armpit hair can save us from the trouble of unsightly appearance, but it also comes with some harms.

During puberty, armpit hair begins to grow at different times. In addition, as society now pays more and more attention to one's own image, many people are looking for ways to remove armpit hair. Plucking or shaving armpit hair is fine, but let's take a look at the dangers of plucking armpit hair.

We should face up to the normal physiological phenomenon of armpit hair. Armpit hair, like the sweat hair in other parts of the body, is a normal part of the body and plays an important protective role on the skin. If it is pulled out easily, it can easily cause damage to the skin and in severe cases may cause breast cancer. This is mainly because the lymph nodes under the armpits are not well developed.

Uses of armpit hair:

1. Antibacterial

Human armpit hair, like pubic hair, can cover and protect the human skin where it grows, preventing it from being invaded by foreign bacteria, dust, etc.

Second, relieve friction

Another function of armpit hair is that when the human body moves and the arms move, there is always friction between the armpits and the surrounding skin. If the friction lasts too long, it will relieve the force of skin friction and protect the armpit skin from being scratched.

It is not advisable to cut armpit hair in summer: whether cutting or shaving armpit hair, it cannot prevent the normal growth of armpit hair, and it is very easy to cause bacterial infection in the armpit.

In addition to the above, the harm of plucking armpit hair with tweezers is that it is extremely easy to cause folliculitis. In addition, if the tweezers are not disinfected thoroughly, it can easily cause infection and provide an opportunity for bacteria to enter the skin. So, everyone should pay attention. It is recommended not to remove armpit hair.
