Dark armpits are a social embarrassment for both men and women. The usual common suspects when it comes to dark armpits are the use of chemicals to remove the hair or harsh deodorants or even obesity. Putting on weight may increase the thickness of the skin there and cause a condition called acanthosis nigricans which leads to darkening of the underarms. Make sure you are using a friendly deodorant which is applied on your clothes and not immediately on your skin. Make sure you use waxing or a laser hair removal to reduce the amount of damage to the skin and if you are obese cut down the consumption of junk food and start exercising. Natural methods like using a mixture of curd and basin applied over the underarm and scrubbed off could help you to lighten it temporarily. Don’t try and put anything acidic like lemon juice because the area of the skin is already sensitive and if it is irritated it may actually get darker. If these do not help you may be it is time to talk to a doctor and a dermatologist can prescribe glycolic acid based creams which are made for sensitive skin types because it is a very sensitive area like i mentioned earlier and we may even recommend chemical peels or laser treatments to lighten out these underarms. So you can be more confident about wearing your sleeveless cloth.
