i hardly have any armpit hair, and i've never shaved, waxed, or plucked it (i never needed to).
but the skin is still dark! is this normal? if not... how do i make them lighter? because everyone's armpits (that i've seen) are lighter then their normal skin color.
it may seem like a weird thing to worry about but...

you are soooooo lucky that you don't have armpit hair!
the skin is probably darker because there's hair under your skin but it won't come out for some reason. but anyway, it doesn't really matter. it's your armpit, not your face. people won't really notice.

You probably have excess pigmentation occuring there. If it really bothers you, go see a dermatologist.

don't worry.
Rest assured, you will soon grow a forest of hair and most likely turn into a monkey.

it's normal. i don't have any armpit hair either, and the skin's still slightly darker. even people with armpit hair who shave everyday or wax, their skin in that area of their body is darker as well.

I wish I didn't have armpit hair, it's nasty and hard to shave off >.<

Armpit hair is REALLY hard to shave. Lucky you.
The dark skin in your armpit might be caused by your deodorants because some deodorants will darken your skin.

You...are lucky. My pits are like that too. It's never really bothered me much, but I guess you could talk to a doctor if it's really annoying.

Armpit hair sucks...
But really. Don't worry about it. You're lucky not to have it.

My armpits get dark because I always have bruises under there. Like, if I fall next to a chair and catch myself on a chair or something under my arm (I'm pretty clumsy), I'll be bruised for weeks and weeks. Or if people pick me up from under my arms (usually my brother or a guy friend) and they jab me with their thumb, I'll be all bruised. And then people are like "Aaah! Whats that purple spot in your arm pit!?"...

and about the darkness, i have no clue whatsoever as to why that is... i'm bothered by that too... it's like.. you can't even wear a tank top without being super conscious about raising your arms up or whatever...
