I shave my armpits and the skin around it keeps getting darker and it keeps spreading like i have a bruise im very very fair skinned... im korean and white and i never had this problem before until i got into my last trimester of pregnancy and i cant bleach my armpits because of the chemicals and i tryed not shavin but it didnt do anything better and lotion didnt help.... is this normal? i asked my doctor and she said she didnt know why it was happeneing... has this happened to anyone or does anyone know what i can do to make this embarrassment go away?

Some women do develop patches of dark skin. I've heard it called the "mask of pregnancy." It's normal and should go away after your little miracle arrives, but you can check with your doctor to make sure.
Congratulations on your impending arrival.

This will probably go away after delivery. Changes in skin pigmentation are common in pregnancy (I'm surprized your doctor didn't tell you this) especially if you are darker skinned.

You know, that happens to my penis too. Every year it gets darker. But yeah it's normal.
