do a little of both.  try neosporin and a bandaid during the day and air it out at night.  you dont want it to stay too moist, but if you let it dry out it causes scaring

Ok since you are sorta dark anyway and you work outside i would prob recommend that you def use some type of sunscreen with 30spf. This will block out all the UV rays. If you can find a good one that blocks out all the UVA and UVB rays you will be much better off. Since your skin is already dark it is pretty hard to lighten it up but you can scrub yourself to death in the shower and that will help take some of the dead skin off that you got from your sun exposure. Dark skin isn't bad..might not be the greatest for your health if it is cause you were out in the sun. Good luck and I hope this helps you.

I'm no doctor, but i am an anatomy student so heres an IDEA:\n (i say idea b/c i don't want you to take it as a professional opinion)\nIt may be genetics, maybe you overstretched it, like in a yoga class?\nYou'd need to ask your doctor, but does it matter how you did it? All you really need to know is how to fix it. Ask your doctor about light stretching excersises. For example, in the morning you would get out of bed and lean over until your hands meet the floor. of course, ASK YOUR DOCTOR FIRST!\nSo, call your physician and ask him/her about it.\nBest of luck to you!

thats ok, what you are seeing are the hairs which are going to peep out of your skin in a few days.\n\nWhile there is nothing wrong with shaving off hair from the underarm region, the underarm region does tend to get darker especially with Indian women, since they have black or brown hair. This hair is not pulled out from the roots, and so it is often visible below the skin even after shaving, especially if you are light-skinned. If you have not had any problems with shaving your underarms, and if your armpits have not darkened, you can continue shaving them\n\nI highly recommend waxing or if you cant stand the idea of that, try shaving your underarms in different directions?  The hairs all grow in different directons.\n\nGood Luck!!!

black underarms are caused from excessive shaving...the root of the hair is trapped under the skin. Try waxing...or electrolysis.

Stop wearing.....\nNah, sure others will oblige for thee obvious....\n\nSee a doctor, seriously if your skin is staying that way for as long as that, i would think you have a circulation issue....\n\nGood luck...

Wear an undershirt, and make sure you use anti-perspirant deoderant.\n\nIf it is more severe, talk to your doctor... you also might want to get a beard trimmer and 'trim' your arm pits... it is unfortunate that most guys think it is awesome to look like they have a roadkill rat under their arm.

Its not usually caused by the birth control.  You should go in and speak with your doctor.  I have it in other places as well.  My underarms have been dark for years, long before I started taking BC.  If it is caused by your BC then its easy to fix that, just change to another one.  It can also be a sign of having high blood sugar related to diabeties or pre-diabeties.  Speak with your doctor about different options you may have.

It sounds like she has some pigmentation problems with her underarm skin.  She could see a dermatologist and ask what can be done..she may be able to get some sort of laser treatment.  Good luck!

Try a product from AVON called banishing cream. It lightens dark areas on the skin.

Dat’s just a symptom of you having dark circle. You can buy cream for it.

in wich way is your armpit painfull?  it hurts when u move your arm?   it hurts all the time? it hurts when  u are touched there?  \nsigns of breast cancer?  not really... because the adenopathy in cancer is most oftenly unpainfull... but because the armpit is a very importan "limphatyc point" of the body it can be a sign of an infection ...\nthere are other causes of armpit pain...a sports injury (hurts when u move your arm) or maibe an infection in one of the skin-glands produceing sweat .\nu should see a doctor...because these are just a few ideeas about your problem...and I can`t say more without a good examination....\ntake care

Funny, I have sometimes thought it would be better if my skin was darker ...so I wouldn't burn in the sun....However, I think anything that would lighten skin might damage skin...I wouldn't mess with it.  But if you feel the need I would talk to a dermatologist.

I used to have the same problem.  You can Go to the doctor and get a prescription for an antiperspirant that you would would apply at night.  I noticed results within a few days.  I think it closes the pores in your underarm area so that you  don't sweat so much.  Truthfully it was a but strong for me and irritated my uinderarm skin-dry and itchy.  So I moved on to an over the counter product called 'Certain-Dri' .  It was awesome.  I didn't have to use it everynight after about a week-more like every other night.  You can find it at any pharmacy.  It might be on the shelves outside the pharmacy or inside so you might have to ask for it.  If they don't have it they can order it from their supplier.  They'll know exactly what it is.

try jergens, or another lotion that darkenss the skin. these look totally natural cause they darken your skin tone, not paint something on it. also, if you need to tan quickly, try natural airbrush enhancement (not airbrush tanning)
