How many times have you stood in front of your closet, grabbed that tank top, and put it back? You can’t wear it because your armpits are too dark. This is not only upsetting, but also scary because you don’t know what in the world is making your underarms dark all of a sudden. Here are 8 reasons why your underarms are dark if you’re curious and want to know why.
