I Have these Horrible brown spots on my underarms i scrub and scrub and wont come off! Anyone know what to do?

Question

I'm 24 yrs. old and I've had these ugly brown spots on my armpits since I was about 9 yrs old, looks like dirt but I've been scrubbing and scrubbing to the point of almost bleeding for years and it won't come off!!! Soooo embarassing!!! PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME A SOLUTION!!!

It's not a freckle or age spots or even sun damage. I've had it since I was little. It looks like my armpits are dirty...Like Dirt. But they are definitely not dirty. Looks really gross. I can't wear a sleeveless top and lift up my arms because wooow!!!..I heard Boric acid works but that sounds scary.

Answer 1

I would be best to talk with your doctor about these spots. Don't try to scrub them away since that hasn't helped at all. You might just have to live with these spots. Wear long sleeved blouses and dresses.

Answer 2

Sounds like freckles or sun spots.You could try a fading solution but they don't really work very well. Plus it would probably irritate the delicate skin on your underarms.

Is it super important? Who is really looking at your underarms?

Answer 3

Are you sure it's not just the hair? A lot of people don't get a close enough shave to completely remove the hair and they're left with dots. Ask your doctor about it. If that is your problem you could try laser hair removal.

Answer 4

Do you mean it looks like age spots, like a freckle? try" fade out" you can buy it at boots or superdrug. If they are like moles i would go and see your GP and have them removed. Good luck

Answer 5

your scrubbing has caused the underarms to darken more.. friction causes skin darkening.. apply a good quality skin lightening cream to get rid of the pigmentation.
