I've noticed that my armpits have turned dark and patchy, and there's a bit of swelling too. It gets itchy, especially when I sweat. I don't put deodorant directly on my skin. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Melacure cream for local application for atleast 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient, as it is economical.
