Acne generally refers to acne. Acne under the armpit may be related to factors such as hormone level changes, poor hygiene habits, and excessive sweat gland activity.

1. Changes in hormone levels

During puberty, unstable sex hormone levels may lead to increased androgen secretion or decreased estrogen secretion, which may cause excessive oil secretion from sebaceous glands and cause acne under the armpit.

2. Poor hygiene habits

If you do not pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene, it may lead to the breeding of pathogenic microorganisms in the armpit. When pathogenic bacteria reproduce to a certain extent, it is easy to cause inflammation and acne.

3. Excessive sweat gland activity There are

many sweat glands. If regular exercise or eating spicy and irritating foods lead to excessive sweat gland activity, pores may be blocked and acne may form.
