Causes Of Dark Underarms. Home Remedies for Dark Underarms

-

 


Dark underarms could be the reason why you do not wear that favourite sleeveless dress. Discolouration of skin pigment or the accumulation of dead cells can cause dark underarms. However, this can be treated using some effective dark armpits remedies. Here are some underarms whitening tips and home remedies for dark underarms that might be the solution you are looking for.

What Causes Dark Underarms?

Identifying the cause helps find the dark armpits remedy. If it is due to hormonal imbalance, then there are medications for it. Listed below are some common causes of dark underarms.

1. Increase in Serum Cortisol Level

Serum cortisol is a steroid compound found in the human body. It is a stress regulatory hormone. The increase in the level of serum cortisol could cause the darkening of underarms and neck areas among women. To check whether it is this increase that is responsible for the darkening of underarms, the serum cortisol test is available.

2. Use of Antiperspirants and Deodorants

The antiperspirants and deodorants have a significant amount of alcohol in them. Often this alcohol reacts with the skin and causes irritation in the underarms, burning the skin in the process. As a result, the skin appears discoloured and darkened.

3. Shaving

Although shaving is a safe hygiene practice, it also might be one of the causes of dark underarms. During shaving, you remove the topmost protective layer of the skin. This exposes the skin to harsh substances, perspiration, dust, and other such foreign particles. These particles may easily cause burns and irritation on the skin.

4. Hormonal Imbalance

Women suffering from thyroid gland disorders or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are prone to dark armpits. Also, the use of birth control pills could cause darkened underarms.

5. Friction Due to Tight clothes

Wearing tight clothes that do not allow breathing space often results in irritation in that area. This leads to darkened underarms. To avoid this, wear loose cotton clothes. The synthetic clothes react harshly with the skin and hence cause the underarms to appear discoloured.
