Your patients may start asking you if their armpits need some TLC. The latest viral trend as noted by FIRST for Women is an armpit detox. The goal is to address odor, texture and discoloration issues in an area of the body that’s usually covered by products — antiperspirants or deodorants. Dermatologist Dr. Hadley King says the detox may be helpful when transitioning to a different antiperspirant or deodorant product. The detox may involve exfoliation, a mask and apple cider vinegar. Despite the social media claim, dermatologists caution that an armpit detox can’t pull toxins from the body.
