How to remove the white stuff on armpit hair? There are some tips

Many people have white stuff on their armpit hair, and there will be an odor when they sweat, which also affects their image. There must be a correct way to remove the white stuff from the armpit hair. Do not shave it directly. Pay attention to hygiene, take a bath frequently, and you can use toothpaste to clean it.

1. General white crystals without special odor, etc.: just wash it

If the white stuff on the armpit hair is just ordinary white crystals and has no special odor, or is just a slight armpit odor, it is generally considered to be the result of salt separation from sweat due to excessive sweating. This mild case is not a big deal. Just wash it with hot water and add some soap or shower gel, or apply some Xishilan Xialu locally. If you wash with hot water, there will be fewer salt crystals. Even in the summer, you can use hot water to wash and your body will feel more comfortable.

At the same time, you should pay attention to taking frequent baths, pay attention to armpit hygiene, wear comfortable and breathable cotton underwear, change and wash it frequently, drink plenty of water, eat a light diet, do not eat spicy, greasy and irritating foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid excessive fatigue.

2. White attachments that cannot be washed off or accompanied by obvious (fox) odor: other methods must be used

Sweat contains salt. When the water evaporates, salt is formed, which is the oily white substance on the armpit hair. Since it is not just salt but also contains sebum, it cannot be washed off, even with soap. It is useless to shave it off, as it will grow out again and show the same symptoms as before. It is prone to relapse and difficult to cure. This disease is also known as axillary hair fungus. It is a bacterial disease caused by Corynebacterium slenderum invading the axillary hair. It is common in summer and is also known as "pseudo-follicle odor". At this time, some other special methods must be adopted:

(1) Apply toothpaste to clean

Apply toothpaste to your armpits and wash off after 3-5 minutes. Or apply toothpaste evenly on your armpit hair. (It is better to use a moderate amount and then wash it off next time you take a shower). Note that this method needs to be adhered to for 7-10 days for the symptoms to be eliminated. Moreover, after the symptoms are eliminated, remember to clean your armpits frequently with toothpaste when taking a bath.

(2) External use of sulfur cream or formalin/formazolidone solution

Shave the affected armpit hair and apply 5% sulfur cream topically. If excessive sweating occurs, 1% formalin solution can be applied topically for simple treatment. Also, please note that this axillary tinea is not only unsightly, but if not treated in time it can easily cause other skin diseases/symptoms, such as complications such as body odor/odour. (Note: These drugs are recommended to be used under the advice of a doctor)

In addition, armpit hair fungus is contagious and is generally transmitted through contact. It can be transmitted by sharing clothes or toiletries, so be careful.

(3) Apply some antifungal drugs after shaving

It is a good idea to use a depilatory cream, or use a razor to shave your armpit hair, and then apply some antifungal drugs to the local skin. If you want something more refreshing, the revised Vidanin spray is recommended. If you insist on spraying it every day after bathing, the newly grown armpit hair will generally not be a problem.
