Why are my underarms green?

Question

This is reallyy really weird, but I have a problem with my underarms. They are greenish, and the skin is really thin and sensitive. I don't know why, It's not dark meaning it's not browner, but it's greenish. The situation worsens if I use regular deodorant, but even after not using regular deos, It still has a slight greenish hue. Maybe this is a skin condition, but being very fair, and although my underarms are not dark, they look like they have been stained with green clothing/ink every day. Has anyone else have had this reaction? My skin is extremely sensitive, skin on my face can only use certain brands of products, and my underarms... well. They're clean, but as i said green for no apparent reason. My friends can use any type of deo without any reaction. I react to almost all deos, and the ones I don't react to, don't work.

Losing hope of ever raising my nude underarms in public. Help

Oh, I have gone to the dermatologist and my doctor. They told me to just stop using any type of deodorant, which is kind of stupid because I would stink otherwise. Anyway, I've stopped using deodorants as I said, and i've tried the lime juice concoction. Turned my skin yellow instead. It's really weird.

Answer 1

Use corn starch and baking soda as a deodorant, they are white and shouldn't contribute to the green. Just get a powder puff and first put on corn starch to absorb the wetness, and then baking soda to keep the smell at bay. I also recommend Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Healing lotion to keep the skin healthy. Like some others said, you may have a fungus under the skin, so you might want to see a dermatologist. I have a greenish tint to my underarm skin sometimes, and for some reason waxing instead of shaving helps. I think it (for me) might be the hair follicle showing through my thin underarm skin. Good luck! I hope this helps! If the condition worsens after these instructions, definitely see a dermatologist!

Answer 2

Sorry buddy but you should contact a dermatologist to make sure is not a skin infection or something.....

You should also try to put fresh lemon juice under your arms for a few minutes a day... I use a little bit of fresh lemon juice with a bit of sugar to wash my hands and elbows as well as my knees once a week... It leaves them nice and smooth and bright!... Try it under your arms.

Answer 3

You need to see an allergist and be cautious about soap products, deodorants or any other products. It could be a reaction to anything but it doesn't sound fatal. Try using laundry detergent that is used for babies like Dreft or Ivory Snow.

Answer 4

Do you sweat alot? I would recommend stopping using deo all together and then see if you still have it. But if that is not possible the I would recommend using Adidas as they use cotton in their deo instead of aluminum that everyone else uses.
