Get her on a solar bed and let her underarms stick out until the rest of her body matches. A tan is healthier than skin bleach products and will probably look more attractive also. Not that tanning beds are all that, but they are safer than all these skin bleach products. So maybe just a beach or back yard tan with underarms covered.

i too have the same problem but i had used the razor intitially way back when I first started. I try and conceal with make up --- generous amounts of foundation and light powder. But when I dont feel good enough I NEVER go in for sleeveless

You can use bleaching creams. Usually at an asian marketplace, asian people are ADDICTED to light skin so they bleach some parts of they're body. And it's not the type of bleach that you wash clothes with. It's white powder stuff that you mix with water and put on every night for like 30 minutes. And no, it doesn't sting. It really doesn't feel like anything except cream on your armpits.

i use lemon, green lemon is better. it lightens the skin. it worked for me in as early as 1 week. just squeeze on dark areas you want to lighten then let it dry. after a few minutes, rinse with water. other citrus fruits will do. goodluck. *wink* i have my underarm picture at friendster. wanna see it. haha

Avoid spraying your underarms - especially with sprays containing alcohol.
