Armpit discoloration and darkening: Causes and solutions

Headline from ABC 17 Mid-Missouri

Discoloration is when you notice a change in the normal color of your underarms. Dark underarms happen when the skin becomes darker than the surrounding skin, often because of hyperpigmentation (an increase in melanin production). These changes are not unusual and affect many men of all skin types.
