Dark underarms
I have Dark underarms with itching and white flaky skin appearance near root of hair. Is it because I have suddenly gained weight in recent years? I had never consulted a doctor before but it Serena the more I wait the worse the condition would get.

Overweight is one of the major cause for dark underams . Flaking might be due to fungal infection. Use antifungal powder after bath daily. Loosing weight csn definitely improve your condition.
