The dangers of shaving armpit hair

Shaving armpit hair is harmful to the health of the skin. It can easily cause the skin under the armpit to be infected by bacteria. Therefore, we recommend that everyone should have a certain understanding of the disadvantages of shaving armpit hair in life. In fact, many female friends who love beauty like to shave their armpit hair in their daily life, but we suggest that female friends should know not to hurt the skin under the armpits.

Shaving armpit hair has both good and bad effects on our lives. The advantage is that it makes it convenient for female friends to wear some beautiful skirts and some clothes with shorter sleeves, but the disadvantage is mainly that it may cause bacteria to grow in our armpits, especially in summer.

Shaving may cater to the so-called beauty, but it is easy to damage the skin and cause inflammation when shaving. The new hair stubble will make you uncomfortable. After shaving, the friction increases and sweat cannot be released in time, causing bacterial infection. When shaving or plucking hair, the pores in the armpits will temporarily expand, making it easier for bacteria to enter. Having armpit hair will also help prevent bacteria from directly contacting the armpits. Another function of armpit hair is that when the human body moves, the arms move, and the armpits pull the surrounding skin, which always generates friction. If the friction is too long or too heavy, it often rubs in the "middle", which relieves the force of skin friction and protects the armpit skin from being scratched. Therefore, armpit hair should not be shaved easily.

Armpit hair helps sweat flow out of the body. If we shave or pull out our armpit hair, it will prevent toxins from being discharged from the armpits. However, these toxins will not disappear. Instead, they will be stored in the lymph nodes under our armpits because they cannot sweat. Almost all breast cancers occur in the area above the outer side of the breast, which is where the lymph nodes are located. Not only that, the razor may cut the skin when shaving. If women use anti-perspirant products immediately after shaving, it will increase the risk of breast cancer, because the tiny scars on the skin allow the chemicals in the antiperspirant products to directly enter the armpits.

Especially now that there are some long-lasting hair removal creams on the market, they cause greater damage to the skin. In addition, the skin under the armpits has cracks, is prone to sweating, and the skin environment is humid and hot, which can easily cause symptoms such as bacterial infection or inflammation. With long-term use, the medicinal ingredients will penetrate the epidermis and hair follicles into the deep layers of the skin, disrupting the normal growth process and cycle of the hair, and will also make the hair longer and thicker during the regrowth and repair process. If you have allergic skin, this kind of stimulation can easily cause symptoms such as itching, erythema, and papules.

As for the disadvantages of shaving armpit hair introduced in the article, you all know how to avoid these disadvantages in life. If you think that armpit hair affects your appearance, you can remove it appropriately, but we recommend that you be careful when removing armpit hair in your daily life and not to damage the skin under your armpits.
