How to Get Rid of a Zit on Your Armpit
To get rid of a zit on your armpit, apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to prevent the zit from getting inflamed. You can also try making a scrub by combining baking soda and water into a paste, which will exfoliate your skin, making it softer. Then, put the paste on your armpit and leave it on for 10 minutes before washing it off. Make sure to use this treatment no more than twice a week so you don't irritate your skin.
Wash your armpits frequently. In some instances, underarm pimples will develop as a result of excess oil and bacteria. As a result, you should wash your armpits at least once a day. If you are a profuse sweater, you may want to wash them multiple times a day in order to prevent the development of underarm pimples. You should always wash after exercising to remove oil and bacteria from the surface of your skin. Use a natural deodorant. Some deodorants can also cause skin irritation under the armpits and can contribute to the development of clogged pores. Try using fragrance free and hypoallergenic deodorants to help reduce the chances of developing underarm pimples. You can also choose a deodorant without aluminum. Wear breathable clothing. Tight clothing can also contribute to the development of underarm pimples because they trap in moisture, which can cause bacteria to develop. If you suffer from underarm pimples, wear loose cotton clothes. This will allow your underarms to breathe and will help keep them free of moisture throughout the day. Apply warm water and salt before shaving. In order to reduce the friction associated with shaving, apply a salt and water solution to your underarm prior to shaving. Mix together ½ a teaspoon of salt with a cup of warm water. Dip a cotton swab into the water and then dab the mixture on your armpit. Let stand for 10 minutes. This will soften the hair, reducing the likelihood of developing razor burn or underarm pimples. Use a thick layer of shaving cream. You should also use a thick layer of shaving cream to reduce irritation while you are shaving. Never shave your underarm when it is dry. This will lead to irritation, redness, and may cause the development of pimple-like bumps under the arm. Shave in the direction of hair growth. To prevent the development of razor burn and underarm pimples, you should always shave in the same direction as the hair growth. This can be tricky with your armpits because they are hard to see and not all of the hairs grow in the same direction. Try shaving in a t-shape: Start at the top of the armpit and shave down through the middle. Then shave from one side of the armpit across the middle to the other side. Change your razor blade frequently. It is important that you always use a clean and sharp razor when shaving under your arms. This is because a dull razor will cause you to press harder, thus damaging the skin. It is recommended that you change your razor or razor blade once every two weeks. If irritation persists, you should avoid shaving and talk with your doctor. If you are prone to underarm pimples, shave your pits with a new disposable razor each time. Try laser hair removal. If you find that you develop underarm pimples as a result of shaving, you can try a few alternative methods for removing this hair. For example, you can remove this hair through laser treatment. Laser hair removal will help to get rid of any skin irritations and ingrown hairs that may result from frequent shaving, but it takes a long time and can be quite expensive. The treatment lasts approximately 10 minutes and you need to have more than 10 treatments for permanent hair removal. The cost of treatment is around $145 per session. Apply aloe vera gel. Once you have developed underarm pimples, they can become inflamed and irritated. Apply aloe vera gel to the area to help soothe the skin and treat the acne. Create a baking soda scrub. A baking soda scrub exfoliates the skin and leaves it soft, clean, and smooth. It can also help treat body acne. Combine two tablespoons of baking soda with a bit of water. Continue to add water and stir until a thick paste is formed. Apply to your underarm and let rest for 10 minutes before washing off with warm water. Do not apply this scrub more than twice a week. Use honey and turmeric to treat underarm pimples. The combination of natural honey and turmeric works great for treating pimples. The turmeric controls sebum production and the honey works to moisten the skin. Mix together one teaspoon of turmeric and two tablespoons of natural honey. Apply directly to the pimples and let rest for 15 minutes. Then wash it off with warm water. Repeat this process once every two days for optimal results. Apply a hydrocortisone cream to the area. If you develop underarm pimples, apply a hydrocortisone cream directly to the area. You should continue to apply this cream for a few days until the irritation subsides. This cream can help reduce the itching and redness associated with underarm pimples. Ask your doctor about the pimples. If the bumps under your arm are sore, itch, or bleed, you should talk with your doctor immediately. In some instances these pimple-like bumps can actually be cysts or in severe cases a type of skin cancer. Ask your doctor about the pimples to see if they are something more serious. Have the cyst drained. If your doctor identifies the red-bump as a cyst, they may elect to drain the cyst. It is important that you do not attempt to pop the cyst on your own. This can actually spread bacteria and may lead to infection. Have your doctor or dermatologist drain the cyst using a scalpel or needle. This will not remove the cyst, but can reduce the swelling if the cyst is pus-filled. If you get cysts repeatedly, your doctor may prescribe you a low-dose antibiotic. Get the cyst removed. In some cases your doctor or dermatologist may recommend removing the cyst. This is typically done if the cyst is large and is accompanied by painful symptoms. Cysts can be removed surgically or through laser treatment, depending on the specific case.
