Many a times, you may shy away from wearing sleeveless tops or outfits that may reveal your armpits because you may feel that your darkened and discoloured armpits may give you a messy look!
Well, if you do go through that hesitation of not wanting to wear clothes which reveal your armpits each time you step out, then you must be curious to know why your armpits are discoloured!
Every person has some appearance-related issue, which may affect his/her confidence negatively and make that person prone to low self-esteem issues.

3. Hormonal Imbalance
People with hormonal imbalance and hormone-related disorders like hypothyroidism, Addison's disease, etc, can be more prone to armpit discolouration.
4. Lack of Skin Exfoliation
Due to all the sweat accumulated in your armpits, there is a lot of dead cell layer and dirt built-up on the skin in that area. Regular exfoliation of the skin on your armpits can help you get rid of the discolouration.
5. Use Of Deodorants
Use of excess deodorants and antiperspirants can sometimes make the skin on your armpits to have a bad reaction to the chemicals present in them, thus leading to skin discolouration.
6. Bacterial Infection
Erythrasma is a bacterial infection that affects the skin and causes it to turn brownish and discoloured, this condition is mostly seen affecting the armpits.
