I have a problem with my underarms, they are slightly dark due to history of scratching. It was itchy so I could not do anything but scratch then applied some alcohol on the itchy area. Now I am in desperate need of some home remedies or tips to whiten my underarms. What should I do?

You can do some bleaching products to lighten your underarms, but test it first to be sure that you are not allergy to it.

You have to apply whitening cream to your underarm. I put whitening cream to my underarm and its really effective. Try it.

Some people are buying peeling set. Once you apply it in your underarms, your skin will peel and you need to put a cream on it. You need to apply this for two weeks then you'll see the result.

What kind of whitening cream should you use for that? Does whitening deo's help too?

I don't think whitening cream will do better? You consult a skin doctor to enquire the problem for itching and get treatment.

Use whitening products but with caution because too much can burn your skin and only make it worse. Also don't shave or pluck (it darkens it more), it's better if you just cut it with baby scissors or just have it lasered.

You can use whitening deodorant or others treat it in a natural way, like putting a little pure lime juice on it, also all over the body.

i agree with janeliwanag. they say that lime juice is effective for lightening the skin. i think lemon juice also has the same effect. there are also products available commercially for this purpose if you don't have the budget to go the dermatologist and get it done.

I also suggest that you avoid shaving shaving under your arms if you do that, and instead have your underarms waxed, which will with time lighten your underarms.

Harsh chemical in the deodorants that you use, continuous shaving, sweating, all of these cause the skin under the arms to darken. Slice a lemon in half and apply the juice to your under arms it may reduce the darkness.

Try to have your underarm waxed and scrubbed in a salon once a month. They help to peel your dead skin and reveal lighter skin
