Darker skin color on my armpit
by Jules3113, Sep 13, 2008 12:02AM
My armpits are not the same color as the rest of my body. It is considerably darker. It looks like dirt that had been accumulated. I've scrubbed, and scrubbed and scrubbed but it's not successful. I know I'm allergic to deodorants. Could this be because my skin reaction to aluminum in the deodorants? What can I do to make the skin under my armpits light again. I cannot wear any sleeveless or cap sleeves shirts at all. It makes me self conscious. Please help. Thank you
