Well, the most effective one would certainly be to go see a dermatologist!! =) But that's expensive and wouldn't be very practical. For some simple home remedies, you can cut open a lemon or kalamansi, and rub it into your underarms. Leave it there for around 15 minutes then wash off. You can also use hydrogen peroxide (its used with some skin bleaching agents), applying it with a cotton ball to your underarms, then applying a whitening cream. Be patient! You might not get results right away, but if you persevere, who knows? You might just have those flawless white underarms that every woman envies!! =)

what do you think is the reason behind black underarms,If you use any hair removal cream,so you should worry about it,cause it can be the first reason for the blackish underarms.you should go for cold wax.Have you searched on internet for this tip.if not try out searching home remedy for dark under arms.I am suggesting this because i don't believe much on cosmetics.I believe in natural things.try them out.

Thank you for your advice.. I didnt use any hair removal cream.. I use twizzers for removing my underarm hair.. Do you believe in hormonal change? When I got pregnant my underarm became darker. Thay said afer giving birth it will return to its normal condition but I think it didnt.

I'm sorry, I don't think I quite understand... Why do you want a white underarm? Usually your underarms are the same color as the rest of you, and if your underarms are strange and white, I think it would look really weird. Also, keep in mind that bleaching your skin can be very damaging to it. Your underarms are sensitive areas where important glands and lymph nodes sit under the skin. I wouldn't mess with that, if I were you. If you damage the skin too much, you could affect the glands, and affect how well bacteria are carried away from your pores. This could make you pretty smelly. :)
