What should adults do if they get water under their armpits?

First of all, keep the armpit dry and ventilated, take a bath every day, dry it after washing, and apply moisturizer or talcum powder, which can play a certain isolation role and prevent water from irritating the skin.

Sweating more in summer, wearing pure cotton clothes, breathable and sweat-absorbing, also helps to reduce the stimulation of sweat on the skin. Don't wear a coat in hot weather, especially when you turn on the air conditioner, you can wear a vest or thin long sleeves. If there is redness, rash or even ulceration, it means it is serious. Seek medical attention if necessary to avoid infection and aggravate the condition.

Extended data

There are two symptoms of underarm hyperhidrosis: simple hyperhidrosis and hyperhidrosis with body odor. It is generally believed that the reason is the dysfunction of autonomic nervous system, especially the abnormal secretion of sweat glands. Diving hyperhidrosis with body odor is also called "smelly hyperhidrosis" in medicine.

It happens to both men and women, but there are more women, especially adolescent girls, and the secretion of apocrine glands begins to flourish, which is also a time when body odor (underarm odor) is prone to occur. Organic substances in sweat gland secretions are decomposed into unsaturated fatty acids by saprophytic bacteria. , produce unpleasant body odor. This symptom is considered by Chinese medicine to be caused by "dampness stagnation and disharmony between qi and blood".
