Suggest Treatment For Skin Darkening On Armpits
I am a white male and I have started noticing a darkening of the skin under my armpits. It's not scaley or raised but does sometimes hurt. It kinda looks like a tan rash and is usually worse when I am in hot climates and sweat lots. I have no family history of diabetes and am not overweight. I am 5'10" and weigh approx. 160lbs
