Hi Kels - This is anecdotal only, I don't have the same problem as you do but I've heard dark underarms can be caused by bacteria. A product I've started using is called Dr. Mist. It's supposed to control body odor. I spray it under my arms and private areas. Some users claim it has helped to reduce perspiration stains under pits and lighten up dark underarm pits. It's relatively inexpensive, but you can go through a 1 oz. bottle pretty quickly.

I have noticed it reduces underarm odor, but it's not an anti-perspirant. I also spray it on my feeties when I wear open toed shoes, a must now what it's getting warm. Another thing I've noticed about this product. When a blemish crops up, I spray a little on the blemish and it really heals much more quickly than any other treatment.

It's quite an interesting treatment and I'll very likely purchase more. For more information, check this link: DR.mist- Products Event or Promotion
