What are the dangers of pulling out armpit hair? Can it cause body odor?

Many women frequently pluck their armpit hair in the summer so as not to affect the beauty of their clothes. However, they do not know that frequent plucking of armpit hair is very harmful. The most common consequence is body odor and infection, and in severe cases, it can even lead to breast cancer.

1. Frequent pulling out of armpit hair can cause body odor

Before puberty, the disease rarely occurs because the apocrine sweat glands secrete less. As the body grows significantly, the apocrine sweat glands secrete more significantly, so this disease often occurs during puberty. In old age, the apocrine sweat glands secrete less and the symptoms will gradually ease.

When treating body odor, the armpit hair should be shaved off because bacteria are easily bred in the armpit hair and there may be odorous sweat or yellowish-brown paste-like sweat attached to the armpit hair. When using medication to treat body odor, the medication can better adhere to the skin, be deeply absorbed by the skin, and also reduce bacterial infection of the skin.

Frequent plucking of armpit hair can stimulate the apocrine sweat glands in the armpits for a long time, which will cause the apocrine sweat glands to mutate and the permeability of the tube wall to be greater than 75~100nm, allowing lipids and protein substances to be excreted from the body and interact with epidermal bacteria to produce odor.

From this we can see that long-term plucking of armpit hair is likely to cause body odor. Women who love beauty so much, how could they be plagued by body odor? In order to avoid body odor, it is recommended that women try not to pluck armpit hair. In life, you must maintain personal hygiene and pay attention to getting rid of some bad habits. In summer, you should drink more water and wear loose clothes to prevent body odor.

2. Relevant experts point out that shaving armpit hair is likely to cause breast cancer . Armpit hair helps sweat flow out of the body. If we shave or pull out our armpit hair, we will prevent toxins from being discharged from our body through the armpits.

These toxins will not disappear, but will be stored in our armpit lymph nodes because they cannot be sweated out. Almost all breast cancers occur in the area above the outer side of the breast, leading to breast cancer.

3. Human armpit hair, like pubic hair, can shield and protect the human skin where it grows , preventing it from being invaded by foreign bacteria, dust, etc., and keeping the "enemy" out of the skin.

. If it is removed, the skin under the armpit will lose a protective film, which can easily lead to bacterial growth and cause infection.
