A member asked:

My underarms are really dark compared to my brown skin. i scrub it and it got a little better, but the darkness won't go away. how can i remove it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dark underarms: Having dark underarms can be a normal skin color variant.Especially darker or olive skinned patients can have darker arm pits.I would be careful scrubbing...This can make the area darker.
