Pain under the armpit

Many people feel uncomfortable where the armpits are. The irritating pain under the armpits very much hinders the person, exhausts it. A person begins to feel that everyone is aware of his pain, although if you logically reason, then the armpits are not such a visible place. Nevertheless, even when this trouble is not given much importance, the surrounding people will necessarily pay attention to the problems that have arisen, since the skin in the armpits will no longer have its original appearance. In order to understand where the pain under the arm of men and women comes from, one must thoroughly understand what we will try to do.

The main cause of pain is considered to be profuse sweating, which causes itching, burning, redness of the skin, pimples and unpleasant odor. And also permanent spots that disgust others. The medical name of this disease is hyperhidrosis.

There is pain under the arm in women and men alike. The main thing at the same time is to understand that this situation is not as simple as it seems, therefore it is necessary to approach it with all seriousness. After a little irritation can develop into a pimple, then into a furuncle and, God forbid, into such a disease as "bitch udder." Timely address to the doctor will help to solve this problem as quickly and without consequences.

Causes of pain

• One of the common causes of pain under the arm is breast cancer.
• Pain may also appear before menstruation. This is due to the fact that the breast is coarsening, and the pain in the chest moves to the armpit. Having a aching character, it is so strong that it does not allow the hands to move. Such a disease is called cyclic mastalgia.
• Another reason that causes pain under the arm is hydradenitis. When this disease occurs, staphylococci penetrate the sweat glands , which feel good in the armpit. If you do not get rid of them in time, then you will not only have severe pain under the armpit and swelling, but also dark red knots containing pus. The central part of the pustules has a conical shape, which soon bursts, and purulent discharge follows from it.
• If you hurt the armpit, this can also be the cause of the pain.
• Due to a recent operation.
• After the intervention, pain under the arm may also occur. This is due to damage to nerves or their irritation.

Prevention and treatment

Women, like men, have very delicate skin under their arms. Hygiene and special care for these places should be an integral part of your morning routines. It is mandatory to take a shower every day, and even more often in the summer. After bathing, apply antiperspirant, which is selected depending on your skin type. It will not be bad if you buy a drug in the pharmacy in the form of a cream or spray that reduces sweating, and will apply it in the evening.

If the pain began to appear more often, and the condition of the skin worsened, then there is nothing to do without the help of traditional medicine. Best in this case, you can help decoction of leaves of birch or oak bark. This broth should be wiped armpits in the morning after water procedures and in the evening before going to bed. Also, a weak solution of vinegar and juice of squeezed lemon helps a lot from itching. Tinctures of mint and sage will help you get rid of stains under your armpits.

But traditional medicine can not always help, there are cases when it provokes fungal diseases. In this case, you need to immediately run to a doctor who will stop the progressing disease in time.

Only with the help of antibiotics can you cure various abscesses, warts and papillomas that can also appear under the armpits and cause pain in this area.
