Armpits

Why are armpits darker than the rest of your body. I’ve noticed this on a few women. Their armpits are darker and somewhat dirty looking. Whereas others have relatively clean looking armpits. Is it the deodorant affecting the skin somehow?

5-oclock shadow?

Hair stubble?

Wow–great minds think (and simulpost) alike! :slight_smile:

Well, both the armpits and the err… naughty area… have special sweat glands. Maybe this is the cause?
