Hello. My problem is quite embarrassing. I was a very chubby kid and now, as a result, in my teen years i'm self concious of my dark armpits, even though I have lost a considerable amount of weight. I tried using lemon juice but it is just too harsh and my skin gets irritated. Any ideas on how to lighten armpits? :)
First and foremost of the thing is to reduce your weight. It is sole most important factor for improving your condition.
If I were your dermatologist then I would have suggested you to use azelaic acid cream or Kojic acid cream or glycolic acid cream or licorice extract or arbutine creams at night time in guidance of dermatologist.
The most important part is to use a sunscreen regularly in open environment and on exposure to sun.
Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem can be dealt best for future time.
Take care
