like god fu-ked up and gave me the armpits of a black person by mistake.

it looks kinda gross and i'm embarrassed to show my pits cuz of it.

will skin lightening cream help out? maybe a bunch of exfoliation?

I think everyone has that problem. You just need to learn how to embrace it. My armpits are dark as well, and they look even darker since I'm pale as fu-k. So I just tan a lot so that it's not that noticeable.

shave it.

i do shave.

and i use dove women's deodorant cuz of its alleged stubble-softening effects.

gays have a tendency to have narcissistic personality disorder

I don't know why

exfoliating your armpits sounds lovely.

I heard that shaving your armpits can darken it?? and I guess you can rub lemon juice to lighten it

How about waxing :]

My brother, he got surgery done under his armpit so they got to shave it, well when ti grows back, it is this little curly ring-like curls of hair and it is very dark too...like Black's lol.....

Are you overweight...Because my armpits were dark when I was overweight and I 've lost a lot of weight and now they look normal color. I would scrub really hard thinking it was dirty but I don't know what it was? Just went away. Online Shop

Don't shave it - I found that plucking it works best. My armpits used to be darker than I'd like as well. Now, I use an epilator (tool that plucks > 1x at once) by Emjoi, and I've converted a couple of my family over to it as well.

^ Screw using an epilator that would kill!

Samnang aren't you a guy? Just leave your armpits lol.

If you're insistent though I guess you could wax. It's better than shaving at hiding the dark bit under skin cause it gets hair by the roots yada yada yada.

lol wtf....my armpits is light....only skin dat is darker than my body is my d!ck......since i got the d!ck of a black guy

^ You wish VSG

I have never heard of this, sounds weird.

i dont wish...i know

Waxing your armpit, i know it works for most people. Also, try those whitening skin cream. If both of these methods don't work, try getting a tan to even out your skin tone.

Good luck

bleach it, add plenty of bleach n scrub like crazy

My armpits are normal, meaning that they are my nornal skin colour.

hmm if u're a girl they better be shaved. but then i kind of like girls with badly shaven armpits, it's a turn-on for me

YES skin lightening cream will help but if you have sensetive skin you may become irrated, You may be allergic to a ingredient in a deodorant you are using, so switch deodorants and exfoliate at least twice a week gently:]

By the way you describe them it sounds as if your armpits as smelly

...tan the rest of your arms?

Oooh I had the same problem. So, I stopped using deodorant... my armpits look so much better. Sure, it doesn't smell as nice but who is going to get that close to your armpits anyways.

Natural Remedies For Black Armpits:

Try a variety of home remedies to lighten dark armpits naturally. Rub lemon slices or vitamin E on your underarms to lighten them. Massage baking soda onto your armpits after a shower to soften the area and exfoliate dead skin cells. Prepare a paste containing 1 tsp. of lime juice, a pinch of turmeric powder and 1 tsp. of cucumber juice. Apply the paste to your armpits and leave it on for 20 minutes daily to lighten and soften the armpits.

Samnang, have you tried changing your deodorant? Sometimes the darkening of underarms are the results from the usage of deodorant. Also, if you normally nix hair from your armpits, exfoliate 1 - 2 days before removing hair from your underarms, and instead of shaving (if you do do this), invest in an epilator. An epilator will take the hair from it's roots, therefore making your armpits less dark. If you don't want to invest in an epilator, I guess you can try plucking it yourself.

Plus, some have found that wearing a lot of polyester/synthetic clothes causes friction which in turn causes skin to darken.

Also, I'm not saying you have/are either of these last 2 mentioned, but if you do have brown spots in other areas like your elbow, knuckles, knees, groin area, etc., this could be acanthosis nigricans, which may appear on people who has diabetes/obese.

Anyhow, there are so much that you can explore. Good luck.
