Prevention Tips:

  • Moisturize: Use natural moisturizers like aloe vera, lecithin or coconut oil to moisturize the underarms at least 2 times a day.
  • Stop Shaving & Start Waxing: Shaving thickens the hair and causes discoloration under the arms. But waxing removes hair from the roots and accumulated dead cells leaving lighter and softer skin. If you have a sensitive skin, ask your beautician to use some herbal wax or special wax formulation made for sensitive skin.
  • Skip Deodorants: The chemicals present in deodorants darken underarms. Natural deodorants and antiperspirants that include baking soda, coconut oil or rose water can be a better alternative.
  • Avoid Hair Removal Creams: They contain harsh chemicals which lead to rashes, itching, irritation and other skin disorders. It is best to adopt waxing instead of them.
  • Don’t Skip Shower: If the weather is hot, you should bathe more often. Neglecting bath can lead to accumulation of bacteria causing sweat and pigmentation. Mix few drops of any citrus oil to your bathing water for a heavenly smell and to prevent dark discoloration under the skin.
  • Let the Skin Breathe: Avoid wearing tight clothes especially synthetic ones. Tight clothes cause friction that causes rashes. Synthetic clothes that don’t let the skin breathe trap the sweat inside which gives rise to bacteria. It is recommended to wear cotton or skin-friendly clothing. Make sure your clothing is loose enough to provide enough room for air flow.
  • Don’t let your weight go out of control: Fat can get accumulated under the arms, rub against the clothes and lead to dark discoloration under the arms.
  • Don’t compromise with basic hygiene: Regular exfoliation removes the accumulated dead skin cells that cause bumps and dark spots. Make sure be gentle while exfoliating as the skin is very delicate under the arms. Harsh exfoliation can lead to scars and rashes.
    Use pumice stone (light-weight, abrasive volcanic rock) for exfoliation. Wet it and gently scrub the underarm area.
  • Keep an Eye on Diabetes: Make sure diabetes doesn’t go out of the control. If you are suffering from Type 2 diabetes, high levels of insulin can lead to pigmentation.
  • Avoid Electrolysis: Using electrolysis for hair removal can lead to discoloration.
  • Stop Taking Pills: Oral contraceptives can also lead to discoloration. To check if this is the reason, stop using it for a certain time period and see if the condition improves.
  • Cinnamon capsules or fenugreek can also cure darkened underarms.
  • Change Diet: Modify your diet to restrict starches and sugars to control diabetes.
  • If you are not suffering from hypergydrosis, darker skin is normal in skin areas that include eyelids and thighs where the skin is very thin. It is not a physical flaw.
  • Bleaching and excessive exfoliation can
    1. Cause scarring
    2. Hair follicles, pores and sweat glands in your armpits can get infected.
    3. Close proximity to your lymph nodes can quickly spread infection throughout your system, and possibly cause septic shock.
  • Consider all the pros and cons before you decide to tamper with the delicate skin under the arms. Consult medical professionals first.

If you didn’t achieve results with home remedies, consult the doctor for a treatment.

If you are suffering from aacanthosis nigricans (a skin disorder which results in velvety, light brown to black markings in areas that include armpits, then you have to consult a doctor for treatment. This condition occurs as a result of obesity or an endocrine disorder. It is found in people with diabetes and most common among people of African descent.

Other possible causes include Addison’s disease, pituitary gland disorders, growth hormone therapy, hypothyroidism or use of oral contraceptives. This condition can only be treated by doctors.

    1. Dilute baking soda with water and apply on the affected or discolored area. Gently massage for few minutes and leave it on for another few minutes. Rinse off with water. This process works for both of your problems.

    1. Yes, they are applicable. Apart from them exfoliate regularly and wear loose fitting clothes to prevent constant rubbing.

  4. I use the lemon and applied on my neck , but after 5 days , my skin on neck looks like burned…..what is the reason behind this?…..my doctor said that is sun burn…..but this entire month I didn’t go out of my home so how its possible that I got sun burn?..
    I felt that it was just because of lemon?
    Am I thinking right?

    1. If the burn is caused by lemon it may be because of 2 reasons.

      – If you are allergic to citric acid. Lemons contain a lot of them.
      – Getting into direct sunlight after applying lemon juice. When citric acid reacts with sunrays,it causes burn.

      If both are not reason, then it may not be caused due to lemon.

    1. Try 1, 3, 5, 8 or 13 methods mentioned in the article. Apart from that, exfoliate underarms regularly and avoid using antiperspirants and deodorants.

    1. Yes, you can. For people with sensitive skin, it may sting. So if the application of deodorant is causing discomfort then avoid using it.

    1. Though removing hair with tweezers may not lead to dark underarms, it can be a very painful process. So, we recommend going with waxing instead of shaving or tweezers.

  10. I got very dark armpits because of using roll on and whitening deodrants during my teenage years(im 18 now) .I have been using apple cider vinegar for about 4 weeks but noticed a very very minute change. Shall i choose another remedy for continue using apple cider vinegar?

    1. Yes, you can choose another method and try it regularly. Apart from trying out the remedies, exfoliate and moisturize the armpits regularly for more effectiveness.

  11. For how long the remedy must stay in the armpit for better results? As short as 10 minutes or as long as 1 hour?

  12. can anyone reccommend me anything for waxing my underarms? i need advice on lighting it up too.its too dark and between my legs.

  14. I found another great solution (by accident) to reduce the darkening in armpit.

    1. Take a two tea spoon of lemon juice, add one spoon of sugar in it.
    2. Apply the mix in th armpit and wait till it get dry, aprox 5 min
    3. Take olive oil or any other oil, luke warm it.
    4. Now apply it in the armpit on the top of lemon juice surface.
    5. Now you will find all the dirt come like a small thread.

    I believe it works like this, once the juice sticks to dirt in the armpit, oil helps to peel the dirt that is now sticked with juice and sugar mix.

You can control it to maximum extent by exfoliating and moisturizing regularly.
