Hello thanks for posting to HCM,
Let me know your age ,weight and height.Common cause of underarm pigmentation is ACANTHOSIS NIGRICANS which happens when your BODY MASS INDEX(BMI) is more than normal range.
Weight reduction helps a lot for this with medications like tretinoin 0.04% at night.
Deodorants are also responsible in some .Avoid them.
