Question

I'm getting really worried about the darkening of my underarms. It all started after I began using deodorants, and even though I stopped, they just keep getting darker. I've tried several whitening creams and home remedies, but nothing seems to work. I've switched to using turmeric extract with lime and honey for the past four days. I wax my underarms regularly, and I don't have any medical issues that I know of. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?
