Common reasons of Underarm Darkening
- Lack of exfoliation leads to a barrier of dead skin cells to accumulate. Resulting in dry, rough and dull skin.
- Irritation due to deodorants and antiperspirants leads to inflammatory reaction, which stimulates the pigment making cells to generate more pigment, causing skin to become darker.
- Shaving and waxing irritates the skin.
- Friction due to tight clothes leads to superficial abrasions, which heal with pigmentation.
- Hyper-pigmentation due to certain medications.
- Acanthosis nigricans due to obesity, diabetes, hormonal imbalance. Abnormal hormonal levels activate the receptors in the skin, forcing it to grow abnormally.
- Fungal infections heal with pigmentation.
