Sweating?: Perspiration is part of your body's cooling system and essential to a gymnast. Dark skin can represent a medical problem on the nape of the neck, but in your armpits it's probably built in to your genes. Please talk to your family or physician about this. It is probably not a problem, even to your teammates.
