I'm sorry its not very discriptive. I"m thinking maybe they are getting irritated from shaving. Maybe its because after shaving my armpits i put on deoderant like right after.......idk help!

I think you might have poor hygiene, trying scrubbing harder.

If you are pale skinned, this is a common problem.
Alternate exfoliating your armpits [ Aapri or ST. Ives apricot scrub ] one day and shaving the next day.
Make sure your pits are completely dry - use your blow dryer on cool if you have to - before you apply deodorant.
Make sure when you shave that you do it from different angles
[ north to south, then south to north - don't do different directions on any other part of your body ]. Use a good shaving gel, and don't use your razor more than 3-4 times.

A would say that is from shaving and nothing else. If you are worried see your doctor.

its just from shaving then the hairs are a diff color from your skin so then they make it sorta mix and make it a diff color

sorry i dont have the same problem as you but it's a mix of the pigmentation of your skin and the way your skin exfoliates...
it's a natural thing. don't fight it.
