What's wrong with the black spots on my armpits?

Many people think that the armpit is a relatively private part, especially women, who don’t want to show their armpits to outsiders. Some women are troubled by the fact that they have a lot of armpit hair, and they will use some hair removal products to remove the armpit hair. In fact, this is wrong. Removing armpit hair will affect your health, and dark spots may grow under the armpits. So what are the reasons for the black spots under the armpits?

Skin pigmentation is a common sign that can be involved in more than 100 diseases in various clinical departments. Without a correct diagnosis, there will be no correct treatment.

Pigmentation is mainly about prevention, followed by correct treatment.

1. Avoid contact with harmful chemicals and do a good job in occupational disease prevention and labor protection.

2. Avoid local stimulation of the pigmentation that has already formed, including scratching, rubbing and applying chemicals.

3. Actively treat the primary disease. As the condition of the primary disease improves, the pigmentation will decrease.

4. There is no ideal drug for the treatment of pigmentation, so it is important to avoid drug abuse to prevent "adding insult to injury". Stop using all suspected oral and external medications that cause pigmentation. For those with local inflammation, anti-inflammatory drugs such as 123 paste, zinc cream, etc. can be used first. After the inflammation subsides, 3-5% hydroquinone cream with a certain depigmentation effect can be used externally. A larger dose of vitamin C can be taken orally. The Chinese medicine Liuwei Dihuang Pills also have a certain effect. In addition, the intake of fruits and vegetables should be increased in the diet, and normal daily life should be maintained, and sun exposure should be avoided.

5. In addition:

① Drinking a glass of tomato juice or eating tomatoes regularly every day can help prevent freckles. Tomatoes are rich in glutathione, which can inhibit melanin, thereby reducing or eliminating pigmentation.

② When washing your face, add 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar to the water to reduce pigmentation.

③ Chop the fresh radish and squeeze out the juice, take 10-30 ml, apply it on your face after washing it in the morning and evening, wait until it dries, then wash it off. In addition, drinking a cup of carrot juice every day can whiten your skin.

④ Blend lemon juice and add sugar water to drink. Lemon contains a lot of vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. Drinking lemon juice regularly can not only whiten the skin, but also precipitate melanin to achieve the effect of removing spots.

If the color is not heavy and it is itchy, or there is a history of mosquito bites, contact with allergic substances, or drug allergies, you should first consider that it is an allergic lesion and respond to active anti-allergic treatment. If the light black area is loose and itchy, first consider candida infection and take miconazole orally or topically.

In addition, some chronic blood diseases may also cause dark spots on the body surface, if any, should be actively treated. If the hair has existed before, is dark in color, has hair follicles on it, and is longer than the hair in other places, and is now growing too fast, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to rule out malignant changes.
