Armpit Pigmentation

2023-09-14 15:11:45
I have dark patches in my underarms. My doc first advised Kojic acid cream daily and Glycolic acid cream twice a week. I got no result after 1 month. She then prescribed Tretinoin 0.05% and blood for FBS, HbA1C. I am pre diabetic. After 7 days there was no such visible result. What should I do? Is Laser or radio frequency only helpful or is there any other medicine? I don't prefer homio or ayush.

Pigmentatation in armpits can be due to obesity and many more causes. Advance treatment like chemical peels can be done which suits ur skin type. For further information consult.
