It could be that your underarm hair is causing a shadow.Even though you shaved the hair, the stubs make it appear dark. Otherwise, it could be that the skin there has an excess amount of pigment. The same thing happens on knees or the knuckles of fingers or elbows. There's not much you can do about it except keep it from getting too much sun exposure because that will only darken it further. You could scrub it with a loofah sponge to exfoliate the skin. That would make it smoother and help a bit. Chemical peels will lighten the skin if you are willing to spend the money to have them done.

You can try rubbing baking soda to your underarm after your shower. Besides whitening your armpits, it will also act as an anti-perspirant and deodorant. You can also try the juice of lemon. Crushed papaya leaves are also skin whiteners.
