Dark underarms are as a result of weight gain(acanthosis nigricans), friction caused by tight fitting clothes, use of depilatory creams for hair removal or secondary to some fungal infections.
Next Steps
you may need antipigmentation creams and some sessions of beta hydroxy peels done every month to reduce pigmentation. For this you need to visit a dermatologist's clinic
Health Tips
Avoid using deodorants directly onto the skin
