On the side effects of glycolic acid in the armpit
Glycolic acid is gradually emerging in the field of skin care. It is used in the armpit, with both advantages and disadvantages. Everyone should know its side effects in detail to ensure safety.

First, the risk of irritation. The skin under the armpit is delicate, and glycolic acid has a certain exfoliation. When applied to the armpit, it is easy to cause skin tingling and burning. Beginners may feel uncomfortable. If the concentration is too high or used too frequently, this feeling is especially serious. It can even cause skin redness and itching, like a fire worm.

Second, the risk of allergies. Individual skin varies, and some people are allergic to glycolic acid. When used under the armpit, it can cause allergic reactions, such as rashes, blisters, etc. In light cases, the itching is unbearable, in severe cases, the blisters break, the pain is abnormal, and it affects daily activities.

Third, the disease of dryness. Although glycolic acid can exfoliate, overuse will destroy the underarm skin barrier, cause moisture loss, and dry and rough skin. If this condition is not relieved in time, it may cause chapped skin, increasing the risk of infection.

Fourth, the worry of pigmentation. During the use of glycolic acid, if the underarm skin is improperly protected and exposed to sunlight, it is easy to cause inflammation and post-pigmentation. The underarm skin tone deepens and is dull, which is unsightly.

In summary, the use of glycolic acid in the underarm needs to be done with caution. Try it on a small scale first, observe the skin's reaction, and choose the appropriate concentration and frequency of use according to your own skin type. If there is any discomfort, stop using it immediately and seek medical consultation. In this way, the purpose of skin care can be achieved and the harm of side effects can be avoided.
