My arpit skin is black in colour compare to my body colour, how to change the colour of my arpit. Is there any creams to change it?

Question

Hi. Armpit skin is somewhat darker than body colour. Do not worry for that. But you can use moisturizer and glycolic acid cream (if the area of hyperpigmentation is smal) after dermatolgist consultation in person/ online. Thanks.

Some time colour of body in some area may different from other and it's physiological k/as demarcation line. But as you described your armpit skin colour as black means there is more darkening than physiological. This can be due to allergic contact dermatitis because of frequent use of deodarants or this may due to a condition known as acanthosis nigricans. Every condition is different so is the medicine for it .i suggest you consult the dermatologist to know exact reason for your prb. Thanks.

Pigmentation or darkness of the skin can be because of many causes. Suntan, being overweight that is sedentary lifestyle, some pigmentation disorders like acanthosis nigricans for melasma, nutritional deficiency etc are some conditions. unless I take proper history and examine the affected area, a diagnosis cannot be made. please don't do any home remedies because if they go wrong it can worsen the problem. Please send photos using online consultation for proper examination diagnosis and treatment

Darkening is often due to a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans (an). It causes skin to thicken and darken in folds around the body.
