What Causes Dark Discolouration And Dryness In Underarms?
My armpits have been dry and flaky. Before they were really dark...but now they are dry and the dead skin is coming off. With that too I have some red spots under there. I have recently switched deodorants so do you think that could be it? Also how can I soothe the red spots naturally?

Hi,
From history it seems that this can be due to deodorant allergy producing local allergic reaction.
Do not use any duo or spray or soap.
Apply triple cream locally.
Take Cetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3 days.
Keep local part clean, dry and well shaved.
Ok and take care.
