waxing burns are common and would take few weeks to get back to the normal colour. use plenty of aloevera after your waxing to keep your underarms hydrated and supple to prevent burns cos of friction after waxing.
Next Steps
consult a cosmetic dermatologist if you wanna lighten the area
Health Tips
avoid using deodrant to close to under arms and ask your dermatologist for a lightening cream.
