There are some cosmetic topics that get a lot more attention than others. One problem that is seldom talked about is armpit discoloration that affects many women with olive or darker skin tones. Yes…we’re talking about armpit discoloration folks and it’s a problem that affects millions of women.
There are countless articles about facial discoloration and age spots, but there are few that deal with real-life issues such as bikini and armpit discoloration. The hyperpigmentation usually arises as a result of genetics, skin-on-skin contact, skin tone, and shaving or waxing. ‘Armpit discoloration can cause a lot of social anxiety, especially in the summer months,’ says skin expert Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian.’
Topical treatments are usually ideal to help lighten armpit discoloration, but skin experts advise patients to be a bit more patient as the discoloration is usually deeper in the skin. Treatments may take months to go away and are prone to recurrence.
THE PROBLEM: Armpit Discoloration
THE SOLUTION: Start with Melapads twice daily to the area, followed by Melarase PM at night. For deeper discoloration, you may consider using the Kare MD Skin Health Body Brightening Kit to reduce body discoloration.
