Yes, shaving does cause pigmentation in the underarm area, particularly if you have darker hair. It can get worse if you shave frequently. The best way to get rid of pigmentation is to start waxing instead. Not only will the skin appear much lighter, but your hair will grow in thinner overtime, and your skin will feel much smoother. I generally alternate between shaving and waxing. If I absolutely have to wear a nice top while going out, for example, I just go ahead and shave. But i try to wax as much as possible, since it makes my underarms look much smoother and I don't have to worry about the hair growing in too quickly (or having stubble, for that matter). So, I would recommend waxing- you can get waxing strips, or go to a salon, if you don't want to do it yourself. You will notice a big difference.

thanks loads,thats what iv been doing :)

I am here to give honest advice, when I feel I have something to contribute. I try to be as empathetic and understanding as I can, as I know that the way something is said is as important as the message itself.

I usually advise on love/relationships, friendship and family issues, nutrition, and health (mental and physical). If I feel I can help out, there's not a whole lot I am unwilling to answer. Ask away!
