I have heard that cutting a lemon in half and rubbing it on the dark spots helps. I have also heard that using white vinegar works well.
I piece of advice though, make sure you don’t have any open sores, because using either one of the above methods can cause sores to burn.
Good luck!
It is the pigment of your skin. You can buy skin bleaching cream that you just rub under your arms at a place such as Sally Beauty Supply or some place similar.
hun i have no clue if this works but i think i read somewhere that you can apply peroxide to your "mustache" area to lighten it…some girls have that problem. so maybe you could try that on your armpits and see if it works. i think in order for the peroxide to work best…it needs heat or sunlight. some girls also put this in their hair to lighten it and then blow dry or sit in the sun. so try it maybe before you lay out if you do that…hold your arms above your head tho lol. good luck
First off, stop putting a razor under your armpit. You are most likely creating razor burn (by going over the same spots more than once) and/or shaving against the grain. When I was younger I had the same problem. Getting rid of the razor will show dramatic differences.
you can use limes or lemons as a home remedy.but it works kinda slow. I used it when i was your age my gmother had given me that remedy. you can also change your deorderant, if you are using the stick kind. change to roll-ons.the roll on liquid does not stick to your skin which also makes your skin dark over a long period of time
i have dark underarms and im 12 too..
i use dove deodorant..
and i read that u can use baking soda..im gonna try it later
