Reasons of Underarm Darkening
- Lack of exfoliation leads to accumulation of dead skin cells and darkening.
- 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.
- Result of irritation after shaving and waxing.
- Friction due to tight clothes leads to superficial erosions, 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.
