Black underarms

2021-04-29 06:12:03
I am having these black patches from last 1 month, there was itching when they started but now there is no itching. But I think they are spreading because when it started it was a small patch. Please suggest me some medicine or something to get rid of these. I have attached pictures of these patches.

Investigations are must to rule out exact cause. For pigmentation you must go for in clinic treatment sessions and home care.
