10 Health Signals Your Armpits May Be Sending

2. Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

While sweating is the body’s natural cooling mechanism, excessive sweating not attributed to physical activity or environmental factors may signal an underlying issue, such as hyperhidrosis or hormonal imbalances.

3. Swollen Lymph Nodes

Enlarged or swollen lymph nodes in the armpits could be a sign of an infection or, in rare cases, a more serious condition such as lymphoma.

Consult a healthcare professional if you notice persistent swelling.

4. Skin Changes and Rashes

Changes in skin texture, discoloration, or persistent rashes in the armpit area may indicate skin conditions, allergies, or, in rare cases, autoimmune disorders.

Seek medical advice for persistent skin changes.
