Dark patches on armpits.
I waxed my underarms on my own at home. Now after a few days m, I have noticed that there are black colored patches on armpits. They are quite visible and noticeable. Would they disappear on its own with the time? Or some effort should be done to get rid of these patches. Please suggest something good.

Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
