How to get rid of chicken skin in my underarm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fish or fish oil: The most common cause of "chicken skin" is a deficiency of omega 3 fatty acids found by eating fish- esp. fish from cold waters like wild salmon or sardines. You could also take a fish or krill oil supplement. Flaxseed oil may help as well but many need fish oil. Sometimes this can also be related to zinc deficiency so consider zinc, or even better, a multivitamin that has zinc.
