Answers:
Well usually when you shave your underarms, there's still some stubble you can't really get rid of!. If you have dark hair its pretty noticeable!. I'm still trying to figure out a way to get rid of the hair I can't really get to!. Make sure you have a fresh new razor, if you have an old shaver it might not work as well!. You could try waxing, I don't know if you can wax your underarm hair though, and if you can it'll hurt :/ And if nothing helps, then don't wear anything that shows your underarms!. Hope I helped :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well don't worry to much, i have the same thing and it is known as 'hyper pigmentation' this is caused by production of melanin by melanoctyes, the pigment producing cells of the skin!. Increased pigment production can be associated with a number of conditions, most likely for you it is possibly from an injury or inflammation, another way this production can happen is through sun damage!. Either from your inflammation or injury it can be from tiny cuts and abarasions from shaving!.
here are some ways you can help your dark spots to get the hint and get lost:
1!. Avoid using antiperspirant as this impedes your bodys ability to excrete unwanted toxins via the sweat glands!.
2!. Use a natural bristle body brush, brushing your skin using small circular motions, working from your finger tips to your arm pits and then proceed towards the chest area!.
3!. Try a tropical cream or various botanicals to help cleans the blood and detoxify the lymphatic system!. Ingredients to look for are Cleavers (Galium aparine), Burdock (Arctium lappa), Red Clover (Trifolium pratense), Phytolacca and Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)!. Soothing herbs such as Marigold(Calendula officinalis) may also be effective to reduce irritation!.
4!. Adding lemon juice to bath water is an age old remedy for lightening darkened areas of the skin
i really hope this helps you, it sure helped me alot :)

try waxing (i know it hurts) but it just might work because when you shave and have dark hair under there you might sometimes leave just like an 100th of an inch of hair and the hair is black, causing your skin to take that shade or tone, try that and maybe try using a different deorderent, cuz that might be the problem too :D hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com
i know it's kind of gross!. i know where your coming from!. it's not because of your hair, its because you don't clean it often enough or your sweaty and your cloths kind of get stuck to it!. i got rid of it in two weeks!. when you shower just get a little scrubby thing that you would normally scrub your back with and use some bar soap!. and just make sure you dry it well when you come out of the shower!.
good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have dark hair and only have that problem when I use a cheap razor or an old one!. You could have them waxed but that hurts like hell!. The hair wouldnt grow back nearly as fast because it is ripped out by the roots!. Worst part of waxing is letting it grow out enough to be waxed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hi there,
Yeah, some people have this problem!.
Go visit your doctor to see if you can go through some sort of bleaching process or there may be creams/pills you can take to resolve the issue!.
I don't know, I'm no doctor but I would definately go and ask!.

I know what you mean, and the only thing that I can think of is if you wear black shirts sometimes the color can rub off or maybe that's just the color of your armpits!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
omg that happens to me too i hate it but i just let my hair grow for a while then shave it it makes the black spot less dark but u could wax it if u want it gone cuz the black spots are hair thats under the skin and wax pulls that out Www@Answer-Health@Com
Try scrubbing it a lot!. If that doesn't work, ask your doctor, I'm sure there is something they can do about it!. I mean!.!.!.after all, Michael Jackson did go from black to white, I'm sure you can do the same with your pits!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I am grosed out but ill still tell you what i would say!. I havnt got that but i noticed that quite a lot of people have it e!.g!. Beyonce!. U can tell on her music vids she has it but they make it to not look as bad so dont kill yourself over it!Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you have dark or tan skin you will have that but dont worry about it!. Just keep on acting like normal!. If your skin is white then you shouldn't have it but then it will be rare!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The alcohol in the deoderant you're using along with your sweat glands AND the heat from your arm pits are mixing together and creating that dark patch under your arms!.
