Welcome to HCM.
Dark under arms could be due to some recurrent frictions over there after tight clothing.it is called hyperpigmentation.
Good mosturiser with steroid containing cream will be helpful,start under dermatologist's guidance.
Take good healthy diet,drink enough water,fruit jices.
Take care for local hygiene.

Hi,
thanks for query,
It may be due to old fungal infection or shaving with normal soap.
Even due to crease and unabsorbed perspiration can also give this problem
Use kojic acid soap.
Apply branded body lotion containing Vit E.
Keep under arm dry and hygienic and allow good ventilation.
Ok and bye.
