Usually we get a light black color for underarms even though we shave it and keep the place clean. I bleach the place once in a while to remove the black color. What do you do to remove the black color of underarms?

I never have a black underarm maybe a slight darkening when skin is rub but usually it goes away when it is already been bleach by whitening cream. Then, the pricking may be the culprit of having a black underarm which is not good to see especially for females. But, i think in other cultures having a black or dark underarm is pretty normal to their cultures.

To have a black colour is normal. I hate to grow hair there. I shave it regularly to keep it clean. Since the skin in that area is a bit loose than other parts of the body. it tends to give a black look

Nothing!I only shave my arm pits at the time of haircut and it falls once in two months.So,I don't get any black color as you have mentioned.Even if it is so,it is quite natural and so I don't mind it.I think bleaching there may lead you to some unwanted problems.Kindly refer to a skin specialist once.Cheers!
