Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 23 years old and I have this problem for the last three years. My underarm is too dark and I cannot wear sleeveless tops. I am getting married soon and am really embarrassed because the sensitive area is also with dark skin and I really need an absolute solution.

Answered by Dr. Sushil Kakkar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have noted your concern.

Dark body folds are more commonly seen in those who are overweight. If that is the case, then weight issues need to be addressed. I suggest you use either a Kojic acid or Glycolic acid based cream for the dark body folds.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
