how to lighten dark skin patches?!


Question: How to lighten dark skin patches?
so i cannot wear tank tops because the skin in my armpits is darkened in all the skin that grows hair. so it looks like i need to shave, but it's just the colour of the skin. i;ve been told many times that it is caused by the friction of shaving (dermatosis or dermatitis i think it is called). so i either dont shave, and have hairy armpits, or i shave, and have them look hairy and gross. how do i lighten the skin?

and dont tell me to use concealer or makeup. im not putting makeup in my armpits and plus it would just all rub off anyways. i want to lighten the actual skin, not make it only LOOK lighter

and also i cannot wax it either for two reasons. i have to let the hair grow to a certain length and have it look all gross for a week before i would be able to wax, and plus the at home kits suck *** and pull out like 3 hairs and leave the rest on your skin (which is the worst thing to try and wash off) and getting it done professionally is too expensive. im a college student living on my own, i cannot afford to get things done at a salon

Apply apple cider vinegar to the dark underarm skin, after washing and drying the area. Do not rinse it off after it's dried. Repeat daily for a couple of weeks.

2
Make a paste with baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Making this mixture will cause a lot of fizzing and bubbling. Just wait for the bubbling to subside, then apply to your underarms. Let it dry, then wash off.

3
Cut a lemon into wedges, and rub one of the wedges onto the dark underarm skin. Allow the juice to dry. Repeat twice daily.

4
Purchase a safe skin bleaching cream. South Beach Skin Solutions and Porcelana are two safe creams that can be used to treat hyper-pigmented skin. You can find this at your local beauty supply store.

5
If none of the above treatments work, Visit an aesthetician to see what they can do to treat your dark underarm skin. They might have a stronger skin bleaching cream that's not available
