What causes armpits to become dark?
The most common cause of darkening of the armpits is in the anatomy, the rubbing of the armpits against each other.
other causes:
1. shaving
2. plucking
3. waxing
4. deodorants
5. over weight
6. skin asthma
So what are the remedies?
If you want an inexpensive natural whitening agent, use lemons. These are natural sources of vitamin C. Alum also works for controlling sweat and may lighten the skin a bit.
Leave-on Lemon and Alum – Cut lemon crosswise and remove seeds. After taking a bath, rub the lemon on the armpit. Then, using a circular motion, rub powdered alum on armpits. Leave on.
Lemon and Honey with Alum – Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon honey. Apply mixture to the armpits. Let it stay for about 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Do this before taking a bath. You may also pat on some powdered alum afterward.
Your underarms may go back to its normal skin tone with treatments like bleaching, but to maintain it, you will have to eliminate all the other factors causing skin to darken. If your deodorant is irritating your skin, ditch it in the trash can now. Laser hair removal is also an option to avoid plucking and shaving, and it promises to rid you of unwanted hair for the rest of your life. It can even smoothen underarm skin.
