      Hello, I am 17 years old female. Why do I have dark underarms? I am embarrassed by it a lot. I don’t know what to do? Please suggest to me something that I can try to lighten. What should I do to get rid of it?

        @rain Dark underarms usually aren’t a sign of anything serious. Darkening is often due to a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans. A combination of medicines and home remedies could help lighten the color. A few natural remedies have been promoted for lightening pigmented skin, including cucumber, curcumin seeds. These products haven’t been proven to lighten dark underarms, and some of them might cause side effects. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist before using any natural remedy. Thank you.
