How To Stop Itching And Whiten Dark Patch On Underarms After Using Peeling Solution?
Hi! I recently applied a peeling solution on my underarms and I think I experienced an allergic reaction to it. As soon as the peeling started, my underarms started to itch and became reddish. It has now darkened really bad. I ve been using Sudocream for a few days now. It has helped alleviate the itch and the rash has definitely lessened, it s almost gone now. However, my underarms now has a big dark patch of skin. What should I do to completely stop the itching and whiten the dark patch of skin?

Hi,
If the itching and discomfort is gone, no need of any active treatment. The discolouration can take few weeks to disappear. Although topical steroids are given sometimes, significant benefit is doubtful. If you are so worried, kindly show to a dermatologist. Its better to avoid trying OTC preparations as the skin will be sensitive already
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
