I have went to the dermatologist
they gave me bleaching cream thats supposed to whiten…it didnt
waxing makes them smooth but it didnt change the color
the lemon juice doesnt work
pumice stone just irrates my chicken skin
and makes it red
shaving just leaves stubble
lazer wont change the color of my armpits
I NEED SERIOUS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suspect your ancestry has either Castillian Spanish or Italian in it, I’m saying this because my Great grandmother was Castillian Spanish and my sister and I had this problem as well. My daughters lucked up & didn’t inheirit this gene. However, one of my cousins has Italian in her family and has the same problem.
Keep using the bleaching cream, it takes more than one or two applications.
You might see a different dermatologist, just to get a second opinion.
Let me tell what else DOES NOT work:
Household bleach,
Hydroflouridic Acid,
Vinegar and Salt,
Lemon Juice with Citric Acid and Salt.
Ajax Scouring Powder,
Cornstarch,
Baby Powder mixed with peroxide,
Peroxide,
Baking Soda,
Clorox Bleach for kitchen cabinets.
I’ve tried all of these, bleaching creams have worked the best, but you must continue to use them forever or the skin will return to the discoloration as before.

Hi, I also have this..and I also have this between my breast. I am currently treating this with a preoxide cream, the kind used for acne. I was told that this will help by a skin care specialist, I have also made lots of research on the product, and thought i would try it, And besides the price is great, and you need no prescription! I truly hope this works.

honestly, if I were you I’d always leave a little stubble, and if I was going somewhere where my armpits would show, I would put coverup on them XD
how long have you been using the bleaching cream? try using it for a couple more weeks. also, if you get a tan your armpits will be less noticable. summer is coming!! yay!!!
i hope that helped!

ive actually tried thigs for that and it works.
first i shave the best i can then i use an apricot scrub
rub it in good.
rinse thoroughly
then i use a special deodorant by dove
that gives you radiant skin
its cool though.

try putting vinegar on it for like a week if that don’t work try coco butter and if all that don’t work. get a whole body tan and then your whole body can be the same color

you can’t….its genetics
Comment by asap travel on 2 January 2010:
if bleach and pumice stone didn’t work….perhaps just tan the rest of your body and work with it….but i’m not sure how brown you are talking about…
