Dark Underarm
Dark underarms are generally caused due to a skin condition acanthosis nigricans
There may be times when you want to flaunt your favorite off-shoulder party dress but you end up wearing a boring dress because of your dark underarms. Like other parts of the body, the skin of the underarms can darken or become discolored. Underarm skin that’s darker than the rest of the skin can keep some people from dressing in sleeveless shirts, wearing bathing suits in public, or participating in sports.
Causes of dark underarms
There are many reasons why your underarms may darken, including:
- chemical irritants in deodorants and antiperspirants
- irritation and abrasion caused by shaving
- the accumulation of dead skin cells due to infrequent exfoliation
- friction caused by tight clothes
- hyperpigmentation, such as an increase in melanin
- melasma, or dark patches on the skin
- acanthosis nigricans, a skin pigmentation disorder that’s associated with diabetes, obesity, and abnormal hormone levels
- other skin disorders that can cause darkening, like Fox-Fordyce disease
- erythrasma, a bacterial skin infection
- Addison’s disease, which can occur when you have a damaged adrenal gland
- smoking, which increases hyperpigmentation
