My underarms are really dark and it's been bothering me for years. I don't want to go for surgery are there any effective creams or other non-surgical solutions that can lighten them permanently? I've even stopped wearing sleeveless clothes because of this

Dark underarms can be effectively lightened with topical creams, chemical peels, or laser treatments, but permanent lightening is not guaranteed. While some home remedies like lemon juice or turmeric might offer temporary improvements, they are not a long-term solution. Consult a dermatologist to determine the best course of action for your specific case.
