Black sweat stains
For the past month or so, I have been noticing that all my shirts (different colors and fabrics) have started to show black stains in my arm pits. I have never seen this before and I have not changed my deodorant or my laundry soap. I am currently taking Tri-nessa, Doxycycline and Spironolactone; all for my acne. Could one of those be causing my sweat to turn to black on my clothes?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yes.
The underarms contain bacteria. You are taking numerous antibiotics that kill bacteria. When some varieties die they turn black. This is why one sometimes has a blackened stool after a course of antibiotics.
Use soap and a topical antibacterial agent under the armpits to wipe out the population.
