A member asked:
Should i scrub my armpits in shower ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: It is always a good idea to pay special attention to those areas of the body where bacteria tend to grow more easily. Armpits, genitals, beneath breasts and under folds of fat tend to have a higher moisture level and higher levels of bacteria and fungus. Washing them regularly and thoroughly rinsing them will help keep the areas clean and free from infection. Be sure to dry them well after washing
