Why is underarm skin so sensitive? What are the signs of irritated underarm skin? 

Underarms are very sensitive body zone. Because the skin of the armpit is folded over on itself and has a high number of sweat glands, it is unique compared to other areas of the body. It is subjected to friction from clothes, but also exposed to strain due to hair removal. About 97% of women remove their underarm hairs. Whatever the method use, shaving being the most common one, superficial layers of the skin are removed and damage is sometimes caused to the skin. Most women show signs of skin irritation including redness, burning sensation, itchiness as well as a feeling of dryness.

What causes the white marks often found on clothes? What causes yellowing stains in the underarm area of white clothing?

The white residues in the underarm left by deodorants are mainly caused by the anti-perspirant active ingredients. They are present as a powder and therefore become easily visible on skin and dark clothes. Yellow stains gradually build up from wash to wash. Various factors contribute to the formation of these stains (e g anti-perspirant actives. skin sebum) and interact with water and detergent. This chemical reaction produces yellow-colored deposits that remain stuck in.
