How to Get Rid of Dark Underarms?
4. Wear well fitting clothes
Avoid wearing tight fitting clothes and synthetics as they may cause friction leading to skin irritation and eventually discoloration. Wear cottons in summer to counter excessive sweating.
5. Get supervised treatment
Consult a dermatologist to confirm whether discoloration is due to acanthosis nigricans or any other hormonal fluctuations. The dermatologist may recommend topical creams or prescription medication which help in subsiding underarm discoloration. The dermatologist may also recommend skin bleaching treatments and professionally supervised cosmetic treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy and dermabrasion to lighten underarm discoloration.
6. Home remedies
Gently rubbing natural skin lightening ingredients like lemon, vitamin E, potato juice to the discolored armpits few times every week also helps.
