Dark skin in armpits and knee cavities

Dark-colored armpits and the hollows of the knees mainly occur in people with dark or tinted skin. However, it also occurs regularly in people with fair skin. There are various causes for the discolorations on this part of the body, but they are also easy to treat.

There are of course several reasons why underarm whitening can become desirable. More information below.

Dark armpits can arise in several ways. For example by:

• Dark armpits bleached by shaving: When you shave your armpits, you remove the hairs close to the skin. However, the hairs under the skin then make it appear that the armpits are darker. A simple solution to this is not to shave, but instead to epilate or wax to remove the hair deeper.
• Acanthosis Nigricans: a condition that mainly occurs in overweight people. It often has to do with insulin production. To prevent this, it is advisable to watch your diet.
• Dark armpits whitening against Hyperpigmentation: Hyperpigmentation is due to an overproduction of melanin. The main cause of this is the sun. So it is not very common that this is the cause of the dark armpits, as armpits generally do not see much sunlight; it could be the cause though. To restore this, a cream such as Skinlight can be used.

Causes of dark back of the knees

The cause of dark hollows of the knees is precisely the cause that occurs least in dark armpits, namely hyperpigmentation. As the skin ages, skin cells can accumulate and cause dark spots. Sun exposure causes a hyperactivity of melanin in the epidermis, which also causes the brown hollows of the knees. Just like with hyperpigmentation in dark armpits, this can also be treated well with a cream such as Skinlight.

Treat dark armpits or knee cavities with Skinlight

Skinlight is a cream on a natural basis, which for this reason is extremely suitable for sensitive skin such as the armpits and the hollows of the knees. The skin in these areas is often thinner and appropriate treatment is required. Because there are no added perfumes and the cream is PH neutral, the cream can be applied to almost any part of the body. To treat the dark armpits or hollows of the knees, applying twice a day is enough. How quickly there is a result differs per person and per skin type. So check each week whether the desired result has already been achieved. After this has been achieved, Skinlight cream must be applied weekly as a maintenance treatment.|
