    Dark underarms are often caused by shaving, so that is one thing you need to consider. Sometimes waxing or plucking the hair can prevent it, but those methods hurt a lot more.

    Try using a scent free antiperspirant. That may help, as there is some evidence that some of the fragrances added to deodorants and antiperspirants can cause the darkening.

    It can be caused by old skin cells, so using a gentle exfoliating product might help.

    And there are a couple of medical conditions that can contribute to it, so talk to your parents about it and maybe ask the doctor about it the next time you are there.
