Find out why: There are many reasons for dark armpits and one is diabetes that can be associated with a condition called acanthosis nigricans. You have to control the blood sugar to have this improve. If you are tested and it isn't diabetes, do a google search for dark armpits to find many home remedies for other causes.

Dark armpits: Depends on what caused the darkness. I think you need to make sure there is nothing going wrong with your skin. Different types of darkness are treated differently.
