On the Side Effects of Glycolic Acid Used in the armpits
Recently, in the way of skin care, glycolic acid has gradually become more and more important to everyone. However, where it is used in the armpits, there are also various side effects, which cannot be ignored.

Glycolic acid is corrosive to a certain extent. When applied to the armpits, the skin of the armpits is inherently delicate and prone to irritation. When first used, the skin often feels hot, like a fire, which is a sign of acid irritation. If the irritation is too great, or the skin is reddish, like a peach blossom in spring, this red is not beautiful, but a sign of skin damage. What's more, it can cause the skin to itch unbearably, make people restless, scratch between scratches, or damage the skin, leading to the risk of infection.

And glycol acid may affect the normal perspiration function of the armpits. The armpits are important for human perspiration, and sweat can regulate body temperature and excrete waste. After using glycol acid, it may interfere with the normal operation of the sweat glands, causing abnormal perspiration. Or perspiration is reduced, the body heat is difficult to dissipate in time, and the body is sultry and uncomfortable; or perspiration increases, and the armpits are often wet, which not only makes the body feel bad, but also easy to breed bacteria, causing odor.

Furthermore, long-term use of glycol acid in the armpits may destroy the barrier function of the skin. The skin barrier is like a strong city wall, protecting the skin from external germs and chemicals. However, under the action of glycol acid, the city wall may be weakened, and germs are easy to drive straight in, causing various skin inflammation, such as rashes, folliculitis, etc.

Therefore, if you want to use glycol acid in the armpit, you must be cautious. Test with a small area of skin first to observe its reaction. If there is no abnormality, you can use it at your discretion. And follow the doctor's instructions or product instructions when using it, and do not abuse it blindly, so as not to damage the health of the armpit skin.
