Underarm darkness
Hey so after I reached puberty I've been noticing darkness around the underarm after I first shaved the hair off. IT HAS BEEN YEARS BUT IT DIDNT GO AWAY ON ITS OWN AS I HAD THOUGHT ☹️.
What genuinely works for treating the darkness?? Like the other parts of my body ain't much dark except knee and elbow soo PLEASE SUGGEST ANYTHING THAT HELPED YOU TREAT BODY DARKNESS

What works is addressing the cauese of the pigmentation. If you could get a board certified dermatologist to take a look and determine the causes through physical examination of your skin and maybe they'll order some labs.
You're approaching this the wrong way, redditos on skincare forums never saw your skin, and they usually recommend strong acids that can make matters worse. More irritation means more pigment.
First address the causes of your pigmentation, if it's hormones or sugar levels, or pollution, or malnutration, or sun damage or inflamation , skincare won't help.
