Dark Underarms
My underarms became dark when i started using deodorants.I ignored it since i need to get rid of body odor but since then it became darker. I tried whitening creams and home remedies but no difference. Now im using turmeric extract with lime and honey for 4days now. I dont have any medical problems, I wax my underarms to get rid of hairs.

Hello
There are many things which can lead to underarm darkening. One of it is contact dermatitis either due to deodrant or wax. Also donot use turmeric extract and lime. Obesity is also cause of darkening. Also it may be due to infection like fungal. Please share the pic for better diagnosis.
You can use depiwhite cream once a day for lightening.
Also you should go for laser hair removal this will help in both hair and darkening.
