Do you think perhaps the chemicals in deodorant could be causing the discoloration? You could apply natural ingredients that have a bleaching effect on the skin such as yogurt, lemon, tomato,etc.........but it will take time. This is a common problem among desi women.........and I would suggest that you consult a dermatologist. A dermatologist can prescribe a hydroquinone (HQ) cream that can even out your skin tone.

U can also use Strawberry Frase from The BOdy Shop, sumone on the same forum said it really works well for dark Underarms, although i didnt tried it yat

Go to see a dermatologist. :)
Re: Dark Underarms :(
Someone I know had the same problem. She was advised to loose weight as she was overweight. She also had very dark neck. It did improve when she lost weight. There can be different reasons for this as everyone is different.
Being overweight, allergies to deodrants, synthetic clothes, and even friction can be a cause of them being dark.
Try dusting any talcum powder, and apply a mixture of mint paste and lemon juice (it's messy!)
Re: Dark Underarms :(
Thanks for your advice girlies!
I've always had problems with dark underarms since I was a teen, and I just turned 30 this summer.
I will try the lemon paste....if that doesnt work, I'll consult a dermatologist.
Re: Dark Underarms :(
you could try waxing them , because that pulls of some of the dead skin cells as well.
i used to also have this problem but they faded over time , i dont really know how :S
