Q: I have a very dark armpits and this is very distressing. I have tried many products like bleaching and also whitening cream but the problem has not resolved.By the way I don't shave my underarms,i wax them instead. Could you please recommend some products or techniques for sloving this problem? Thank you.
A: Is the skin dark? At times, armpits appear dark because hair-growth is visible through the skin of fair women, a few days after waxing. If this is the case, there is nothing you can do, as you would just have to wait for the hair to grow a suffecient length, before you can wax it off once again. Dark armpits could also be caused due to excessive sweating in the underarm region. Use an anti-perspirant, and apply an anti-fungal powder to your underarm region. Change your clothes as soon as you reach home, especially if they have sweat on the underarm region. Make sure you keep your underarms clean, and wax them regularly. Scrub the underarm area well while bathing, and wipe the area with a wet towel or tissue a couple of times a day, whenever you get the chance. Do you wear tight sari blouses often? If yes, try switching to loose salwar kameezes. Avoid wearing synthetic fabrics near your underarm region.
Q: I have dark underarms cos i used to use hair removing cream. now i wax regularly but is still dark. please help. Can't wear short sleeve.thanx
A: Your underarms will lighten over time. Be patient. Don't use hair removal creams again and don't shave your underarms. Keep waxing them regularly.
Q: I pluck my underarm hair at home and I have dark underarms. Does plucking darken my armpits?
A: No, plucking does not darken underarms. Avoid applying scented powders on your underarms, instead, apply anti-fungal powder. It is possible that you were born with dark underarms and there is little you can do. Bleach the area.
Q: I am 22 years old.I have dark underarms because i used to apply a hair removal cream around 6 years back. Please suggest some way to remove the blackness. Also, is there a way to remove hair around the nipples? Please give a swift response.
A: Roohi, you could snip off the hair from your nipples, or just leave it alone. It is not recommended that you wax this area, and you should definitely not use hair-removal cream on your nipples. Do not apply anti-perspirants to your underarm area, use anti-fungal powder. Wax your underarms, do not shave them as they are turning black, and do NOT use hair removal cream on your underarms.
Q: Its very dark under my arm ,how to lighten it? i shave twice a week.
A: Avoid shaving your underarms. Shaving only removes the hair growing above the skin, and the hair under the skin shows through transparent skin, making underarms look dark. Switch to waxing your underarms instead, as waxing removes the hair from the root.
Q: My underarms is dark.I feel bit embrassed.
A: Are you fair? Armpits appear dark because hair-growth after waxing is visible under the skin of fair women. If this is the case, there is nothing you can do.
