Dark underarms
I have very dark underarms since many years due to which I am unable to wear sleeveless confidently. This problem is 5-6 years old and I have tried home remedies. I am taking thyronorm 25 and underarms git more dark recently after my pregnancy and delivery. Please suggest medicine oral or ointment to remove the darkness completely. I have tried every type of wax and packs but it does not work
