Armpits., something is wrong with mine. Options

[I.Luff.Emo.Boys.]

Okay i shave my armpits everyday. The hair grows back but not till like the next day so for the day im all okay. But my armpit LOOKS like it has hair but when you touch it or look from the side, its shaved. When i was little my armpit was the same color as my skin but now i think its the COLOR of it thats darker and spotty-ish.

Whats wrong with this? How can i fix it?

P.S= its not bad shaving, its the armpit, period.

wax your armpits.

[jambaJUICE]

What deodarant [sp?] do you use?

and uhm... dont use deodarant at night,
at night, after u shower, use BANISHING CREAM
and then in the morning when you shower again, use deodarant.

see if that helps.

[anger_is_my_frie...]

waxing should pretty much do the job

[LittleLulu]

thats the same wit me... cept i dont shave everyday cuz the hair is soo fine u cant even reli feel it.... so ya

but i've yet to find a way to stop it.. sorry if im not much of a help.

[I.Luff.Emo.Boys.]

okay, ill see if i can wax them. but where can i get banishing cream? drugstores?

[sammi rules you]

i have the same problem. it is your hair, it's just the root of your hair stuck in your armpit, so it looks unshaven. try getting your armpits waxed if it becomes too annoying. (i'm too wimpy for that..i only get my eyebrows done..but i put coverup on my armpits so i don't look like a monkey)

im glad im not the only one with this problem. thanks. ill think about getting them waxed lol

[*wind&fire*]

owww... i could never wax my armpit...

[*jooleeah*]

that sucks >< yeah, i agree with the other people, get them waxed. but it might hurt...eeek.

[happygoluckyng]

waxing will pretty much do the job..... :)

[xBitterxSweetx]

if you don't have a lot of hair, pluck them.

[nlgrl]

there prolly ingrown hairs... try waxing them

[mai_z]

shaving them so much will cause the hair to stay under the skin more and make them seem darker....depilitories work well for stuff like this, but waxing's probably the only option to get them all out....i'm guessing that will hurt tho

[mz anita xP]

same thing for me, i tried shaving all the way so the root of it wont show, but its the furthest it goes and that lil dots of black, which is the root, remains. i hate it when it grows back the next day cus i jus have to shave it again. i tried waxing it, but it didnt work. i tried many times waxing, not jus that it dont work but it hurts so much, it pulls my skin and not the hair, plus it leaves wax. its jus so annoying.

[Kit]

same wit meeh. It sucks. But i don't wax it looks lyk it hurts. i tink deres sum shavers that help wit it...

[jambaJUICE]

if you don't have a lot of hair, pluck them.

plucking makes them dark....

[*Expresseggroll*]

shaving leaves stubs or the roots are still there. Kinda like how guys shave and they still have a "shadow" look.

Waxing yanks them f**kers out...

[I.Luff.Emo.Boys.]

lol okay. ill get them waxed. ouch.

[s0emotionalx3]

lol waxing seems more painful to me...

try waiting till they grow out a little more, (just wear sweatshirts or something since it's cold anyways) then pluck them out. Whenever that happens to me it's like two hairs come out of the same hole So i jus pluck them out n its normal again

[emrzz09]

Mine used to be like that then I got them waxed and I use lotion on my armpits at night and deoderant in the morning. A bit of a hassle, but it works for me .

.. I never knew banishing cream like lightens skin. Where do you get those and does it work for like other dark spots on your body?

[voguelove]

are you talking about the skin underneath is a darker color itself or the hair is showing up but you shaved it? it could be bromidrosis.

[IceCream4U]

I agree with a lot of other people - waxing should do the trick

Why do the armpits/underarms get darker?
There is no consensus among experts but several reasons can be attributed to this:

Constant friction which happens if you are overweight or if you wear tight blouses and tops that brush against the skin
Excessive sweating that is common in warm places, particularly when women use skintight blouses and tops (Related article: Tips on picking the right tops)
Improper hygiene leading to infections.
Shaving of underarm hair
How to lighten the skin in that area?

Start with proper hygiene.
Switch to sugaring instead of shaving or waxing to remove unwanted hair.
Use a skin lightening cream.
You can also scrub the area with lemon peel powder while bathing.
Skin darkening is also treated sometimes with bleaching agents such as hydroquinone and other mild acids such as glycolic and retinoic acid.

[xmkaex]

^thanks

btw what is sugaring...

[voguelove]

yea, sure no problem.

you could have just searched on google.

[flc]

Like ThePrincessofTKD said, you probably need to shave your armpits. You might have light skin but the roots of your hairs are dark, and that's what you're seeing.

[mseryel2]

ya, im just like that.
what i use is a whitening soap while i shower, and now im finding my pits lighter
HOORAY!
