Itching with tingling after shaving underarms may be caused by hair irritation, skin damage, allergy, etc. It can be relieved by medication and keeping the skin clean.
1. Hair irritation: Armpit hair grows back after shaving, and the new armpit hair will repeatedly irritate the skin and produce itching or tingling symptoms. Patients can use loose and comfortable clothes to isolate the armpit hair and avoid frequent rubbing of the armpit hair on the skin. In addition, patients can also use alcohol or iodine to disinfect.
2. Skin damage: When shaving armpit hair, patients may cause skin damage or hair follicle damage, resulting in symptoms such as stinging and itching. Patients can use iodophor to sterilize the broken area and pay attention to keep the skin clean, and then they can use topical medication, such as erythromycin ointment and other treatments.
3. Allergy: this may also be the patient’s allergic reaction to the use of shaver, lubricants, etc., resulting in underarm itching, stinging and so on. Patients can be treated with medication, using glucocorticoid ointment such as hydrocortisone butyrate ointment or antihistamine drugs such as loratadine for relief.
If the underarm shaving itch with tingling aggravated, we should consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions for targeted treatment. Drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
