As you bring the underlying hormonal disorder under control, you should see the dark patches fade. If your underarm skin remains dark, try applying over-the-counter topical creams containing lactic acid or glycolic acid, which can help to exfoliate the dark patches.

This common problem usually occurs on the backs of the forearms and hands, as we get older. It occurs due to a combination of chronic sun exposure, thinning of the skin with aging.

The skin on the forearms and back of the hands gets sun exposure daily over many years.
