On the Causes and Countermeasures of Axillary Burn Caused by Fruit Acid
Recently, there have been cases where fruit acid is applied to the armpit and caused burns. Investigate the reason, fruit acid has the ability to exfoliate, but the armpit skin is delicate, its stratum corneum is thin, and its tolerance is inferior to others. If the concentration of fruit acid is too high, or the application time is too long, the skin cannot withstand its stimulation, resulting in burns.
Looking at the state of burns, the skin of the armpit is reddish in the light case, and it feels tingling with slight heat; in the severe case, the skin is damaged, the pain is severe, and it affects the movement of the upper limbs.
To prevent this harm, before using fruit acid, it is advisable to take a little and apply it to the hidden place of the armpit. Wait for a few hours to see if there is any discomfort. This is the method of testing sensitivity. If the skin is sensitive, it should be used with caution, or with low concentration. And when using it, you need to follow the method, control the time, and do not exceed the time.
If it has been burned, you can use cold water to buffer it at first to reduce its heat and reduce skin damage. In light cases, you can apply a gentle repair cream to help the skin heal. If the burn is serious, seek medical attention as soon as possible, listen to the doctor's advice, and do not use your own medication, which will exacerbate the damage.
In general, when using fruit acid for skin care, you need to be cautious, know the characteristics of the skin, and abide by the rules in order to avoid the pain of armpit burns and gain the benefits of skin care.
