There are many reasons why the armpits can become discolored and darkened. Constant skin to skin friction, excessive sweating and moisture, increased sebum (oil) content in the armpits, and genetics all play a role in dark armpit skin. Genetics and your skin complexion may make you prone to this common problem so it’s important to keep that in mind when treating the area with skin lighteners. Your genetics will ultimately determine skin color and lightening creams cannot cure the area of dark discoloration - only improve the discoloration.
Reduce Hair in the Armpit:
Clinicians think that skin to skin contact increases the pigmentation in the armpit. There is very little you can do about that, but if you have overgrown coarse hair; it may be time to consider waxing, shaving, or laser hair removal to reduce the amount of friction in the armpit area. Within those hair follicles may also be oil glands that secrete sebum into the skin. Dermatologists have long been aware that sebum and oil may contribute to inflammation and skin discoloration.
Decrease excessive sweating:
Hyperhidrosis and excessive sweating in the armpits can also increase the moisture content. This moisture may also lead to skin bacteria, skin fungus, or microbial colonization. All of these may further cause skin discoloration and uneven skin tone. Reduce the excessive sweating with Botox, hyperhidrosis treatments, or an antiperspirant.
