View allI've noticed some dark spots under my armpits and the skin there is quite a bit darker than the rest of my skin. It's strange because there are these dark spots on the upper part too. Should I be worried about this or is there something I can do about it?
The dark-colored spots and hyperpigmentation under your armpits may be caused by excessive sweating, shaving, or friction, and can be treated with topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids, as well as home remedies like turmeric, lemon juice, or cucumber, and maintaining good hygiene and using gentle hair removal methods.

Recently had hand surgery and there's still a mark left from it. I've been using hexilak gel for about two months now but it doesn't seem to be fading. Is this normal or should I try something else?
It’s normal to have some scarring after hand surgery. If the scar isn’t fading, you might want to try silicone gel sheets or corticosteroid injections. Consult with your surgeon for other scar treatment options if necessary.
