Whats the number 1 cause of armpit acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rule out...: If it's in your armpits and perhaps your groin, and this is where it's worst, and it spares your face, you may have hidradenitis suppurativa. A dermatology consult is indicated before it gets worse; there are some new rx's for this disease which can be troublesome.
