sweat spots

[sonson1960]

I have hyperpigmentation in the axilla and in between the upper part of the  thighs , I believe this is because of sweating and friction in these parts , besides I sweat too much in summer . Please lead me to a treatment to reduce sweating and also to fade away these spots as this annoys me much .

Hi,

Glad the post was of some help to you.

Have you consulted a skin specialist for your complaints?

You could apply calmine lotion at the site,use some demyelinising agents, and use a medicated sunscreen.

Let us know what your skin specialist advises and post us if you need any other information.

Regards.

Hi ,
Thanks for your prompt reply , but can I ask if the present hyperpigmentation can be removed or not ? what about creams containing cucumber , will they have effect ?

Hi,

Some amount of hyperpigmentation in the inner parts such you mentioned, is normal. This area also is rich in sweat glands to keep our body cool. Friction is caused less by the body and more by the kind of clothing we wear. Therefore use cotton clothes to help you stay cool. You may also use anti-perspirants to help you with decreasing the perspiration.

There are many treatment options available for reducing the pigmentation and a customization to your needs and requirements will be required  by a doctor. Please visit for further diagnosis and treatment.

Do let me know if you have any other queries and the status of this condition.

Best regards
