Get rid of dark underarms?

I have dark underarms, but tried rubbing it with pumice stone but it’s still dark. How can I can rid of it? It’s starting to get warm here and I want to be able to wear tank tops. Help!

Answer #1

Ok well thats due to you holding the under arm spray to close, it stais your skin, id just use some baby powder (scented) instead and in a few weeks/days you should notice a difference…

Answer #2

It could also be “acanthosis nigricans.” Or it could be PCOS, I’m not completely sure. I may have it too… =( but here’s a site that I found…

This sounds like ‘acanthosis nigricans’ which is a symptom of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a warning sign for many things, such as PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome.

Answer #3

I’ve heard rubbing lemons on your knees and heels keeps them from being dark. You might want to go to a beauty supply store and see if they have any products that can help you. It just may be you a have genetically dark underarms and there’s not much you can do. If it is genetic, ask your mom or another family member and see if they have any ideas.

Answer #4

Lemon’s good but it burns like hell!

Answer #5
