For wearing short sleeve or sleeveless dresses, people mostly prefer clean and smooth underarms. Dark underarms are normal but if you feel uncomfortable with them, you can consider different treatments available to help whiten your underarms. But before going for the treatment, let’s know the cause of dark underarms first.

Due to Improper Shaving or Waxing 

Aggressive pulling of hair or not using a lubricant before using a razor can cause hyperpigmentation over time.

Improper Exfoliation

As you care for your body, the same goes for your armpit. Remove dead cells regularly as it may result in a darkened armpit.

Using Irritating Deodorants 

You may be unknowingly using deodorants that may be allergic to your underarms. People with sensitive skin must consult a dermatologist before choosing a deodorant.

Wearing Fit or Rough Cloth 

As the tight fitting clothes may result in pigmentation due to friction, wear comfortable clothing that allows your arms to breathe.

Avoid all these habits as they harm your arms. Over time, hyperpigmentation occurs, which results in dark underarms.
