Can Dark Underarms be fixed?
Yes, dark underarms are treatable with professional care and proper skincare. Treatments often include chemical peels, laser therapy, medical-grade creams, and exfoliation procedures to lighten pigmentation and smoothen the skin. Lifestyle adjustments like avoiding harsh deodorants or switching hair removal methods also help. At Derma Redefined, Dr. Sampurna offers safe, customized solutions to restore natural skin tone and boost confidence. With consistent treatment, dark underarms can be significantly improved, leaving the skin brighter, healthier, and more comfortable to flaunt without hesitation.
How to Understand the Symptoms?
The most common symptom of dark underarms is noticeable discoloration, where the underarm skin appears brown, gray, or even black compared to the surrounding skin. It may be accompanied by roughness, dryness, irritation, or thickened skin. The condition often worsens with friction, shaving, or strong deodorants. In some cases, dark underarms may signal an underlying medical issue like insulin resistance. If the pigmentation persists or spreads, consulting a dermatologist is important to identify the root cause and begin the right treatment.
