Spots and darkening may occur in some parts of the body for various reasons. There are many reasons for the darkening that occurs more often in the fold areas.

What Causes Underarm Darkening?

In order to prevent the darkening of fold areas such as the armpits, the factor causing the darkening must first be determined.

The most common cause of darkening in the fold areas is friction. Removing the hair in the armpit and genital area frequently with wax or razor creates redness and darkening in the skin in that area in response to irritation. With laser epilation and needle epilation, which are more permanent epilation methods, the hairs are destroyed, the spots formed by repetitive trauma are prevented and the color of the skin gradually becomes lighter.

One of the other common causes of underarm darkening is excessive sweating. Excessive sweating creates a moist environment and paves the way for infections such as bacteria and fungi. These infections also cause darkening of the armpits.
