What Causes White Discharge From The Armpits?
Hi there, my son is 21, he has noticed for many months white stuff coming out of his armpit pores, he says he has no pain, no pimples, he works in a physically demanding job and sweats a lot. What do you think? I suggested scrubbing twice daily with cetaphil. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
There is nothing to worry about it. The discharge is sebum and sweat. Scrubbing it with Cetaphil twice is a good option.
Apart from that since he has a physically demanding job, I suggest wearing loose cotton clothes so that it quickly dries up.
Good hygiene and keeping it dry should help.
Take care dear
