Well my grandma told me putting lemon on them helps. I don't really have that problem but my friend tried it and it worked pretty good. But you can try to find out what it is in the lemon that fades the dark stains and buy a cream with the same thing. Because i don't think u want to put lemon on. Probably some pigment fading cream for dark spots sking brightner will work too.

tanning really helps this. also, salt water, or pool water. all of these things will clear it up.also, neosporin helps too. i figured that one out for myself. one day i was out of my cortizone(which also heps with itching) and i tried it, and it worked really great.

If you can afford to visit a dermatologist, that's your best bet.  If not, let me suggest the following:\n\nIt sounds as if your skin is reacting to the shaving of your underarms.  You might try waxing for them, if you can tolerate it.  (I've never had it done.)  If you are reluctant to try waxing, then you might use a chemical hair removal method for your underarms, like Nair.  Realize, however, that if your underarm skin is that sensitive, it might also react to the Nair.\n\nFor your knees, I'd recommend slathering some baby oil on them before you get into the shower or tub, allowing it to soften your knees, and then gentle buffing with a pumice stone.  It's not abnormal for elbows and knees to be a little darker than the surrounding skin.  Whatever you do, don't rub too hard with the pumice stone.  You'll abrade your skin.  Gentler is better.\n\nThere are over the counter gentle skin bleaching products that you can try for these two areas, as well.  Just don't over do it (like Michael Jackson)!  Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent, as well.  (It will sting if you use it under your arms after shaving.)  Use sparingly.  Good luck.

Try Aloe Vera-Really works for me.

cocoa butter lotion seems to do the trick.  Just apply it nightly or daily and it should go away eventually.

I am guessing that you're in USA? I'm in London, where we found 2 good solutions to this problem when my daughter had it. First of all, know it'll stop once all your hormones settle down. But whilst you wait to grow out of it, go to your pharmacy and ask for a perspiration blocker. They are aerosols, just like a normal deodorant, but really keep you dry all day.The other thing available here is a pad....worn like a bra, but it goes under your arms and soaks up all the sweat. No more staining! You just wash them out at night and they're dry in minutes. Good luck! But it WILL go away soon, I'm sure.

there is no real way to get rid of those. unless you have lots of money to spend on laser surgery. dont waste your time on creams THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL. you do not need to sun tan if you are black already. the best thing to do is apply stay-on makeup to those areas.

haha this was just asked i thought.  I get the same problem on my upper arms bro, coco butter lotion W/ vitemin E twice a day when you get up and when you go to sleep every day.  It will take the color out of the marks and if they're smaller make em heal away.

yes it is and there is no real cure except for some very expensive and costly light treatments. I have it, but for me it is patchy and I am so fair skinned that I would never consider treating if.  I heard the light treatments are successful on dark skinned people

Use a good anti-perspirant. Apply it right after you've showered, of wash yourself first. Also, try to aviod clothes with synthetic fibers. My experience is that they make you sweat more, and smell stronger. Removing hair from the armpits can also help.

I used facial hair bleach once on my arms to bleach the hair and my skin faded. Try that maybe.

It's a condition, you need to go to a dermatologist and get treatment for it.  I have pretty much the same problem.  I know for the underarms you can get botox that will last for approx 6 months and stop the sweating.  I know how embarrassing it is to walk around with pit marks under your arms in the winter time even, hard to find deodorants that work well, which by the way, I learned that switching back and forth from Dove to Degree helps some, but go to the doctor and see what they can do for you.  It's called hyperhidrosis.  http://www.ineed2know.org/sweating.htm  I hope this all helps and I feel for you, since I am there with you!!!  Good luck!

have you had it checked? Maybe try to feel if a lymphatic node is enlarged. I know it´s "unmanly" but if you shave your armpits maybe you´ll feel better - some people do! It might be itchy at first because you´re not used to it but it won´t hurt to try, huh?\nIf all else fails, go see your GP. Hope it gets better soon!

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)

I know there is a shot that doc's can give for serious problems. I'd google some natural remedies in her diet. A girl shouldn't have that severe of a problem. \n\nThe ONLY antiperspirant that works for me is Almay Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant, Clear Gel, Fragrance Free - 2.25 oz - NOT the other Almay products. I get it at drugstore.com.\n\n\nDr. Andrew Weil's take on this situation is:\n\nBody odor\nMost body odor is the result of bacterial breakdown of sweat. Perspiration itself is normally odorless. An easy way to reduce the amount of bacteria under the arms is to splash on rubbing alcohol. Most commercial deodorant products contain irritating or harmful ingredients, including aluminum salts and dyes. Avoid the antiperspirant varieties. You can find better products in health-food stores, such as those containing extracts of green tea, which is antibacterial. Beware of "natural crystals," which contain aluminum even if they say they don't. Stimulant drugs, including coffee and tea, contribute to body odor by increasing the activity of apocrine sweat glands, special glands in hairy parts of the body that produce strong-smelling, musky secretions. Try eliminating caffeine if body odor continues to be a problem. \n\nAnother herbal remedy site suggested this:\n\nBeneficial Dietary Supplements\nChlorophyll is an effective deodorizer.\n\nVitamin B helps remove waste.\n\nZinc helps balance the body’s metabolism and reduces the cause of bad body odor.\n\nMagnesium enhances the effectiveness of vitamin B and zinc.\n\nThyme and Lavender Oils kill bacteria.\n\nSage, when taken in tea form, reduces sweat gland activity.

lemon.  It helps on knees and elbows so it should work on your armpits too!  Good luck.
