Which Antiperspirants Can I Use?
Recently I have stopped using normal deodorants and antiperspirants and have started using organic. Now I have noticed that the skin under my arms had turn ever dark, almost black and is a little sore. It feels as if I have a cut. Is this anything I should be concerned about?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The antiperspirant made the sling sensitive to sunlight and has caused tanning. It will resolve once you stop the deo. Ask your dermatologist about a less harsh one or find a natural one. Avoid wearing clothes which cause you to sweat and when exercising wear fabrics which absorb moisture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
