Dark underarms can develop for several reasons, many of which are linked to lifestyle habits, genetics, or underlying skin conditions. Understanding the cause is essential to select the right treatment approach. Common causes include:
Friction: Constant rubbing from tight clothing or shaving can lead to pigmentation and skin thickening.
Deodorants and Antiperspirants: Certain chemical-based sprays may irritate sensitive skin, causing dark patches over time.
Accumulation of Dead Skin Cells: Improper exfoliation allows dead skin buildup, resulting in dull and uneven tone.
Hormonal Changes: Conditions like PCOS or hormonal imbalances can trigger hyperpigmentation.
Insulin Resistance or Obesity: These can cause a condition known as Acanthosis Nigricans, which darkens the folds of the skin.
Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation: Skin trauma from waxing, shaving, or infections can leave behind dark marks.
We believe in personalized care—every skin type reacts differently to pigmentation and treatments. Before starting any lightening procedure, our dermatologists conduct a detailed skin analysis to determine the exact cause and depth of pigmentation.
Based on the diagnosis, a customized treatment plan is created using safe, proven, and skin-friendly techniques suited for Indian skin tones.
Our clinic uses advanced medical-grade technology and dermatologist-approved products to lighten and rejuvenate your underarm skin.
