Thank you for your question.I see this regularly in axillary hyperhidrosis patients since I specialize in the treatment of all type of hyperhidrosis patients. I believe that the primary issue in controlling this hyperpigmentation is getting control of the excessive sweating with Botox or miraDry. Once moisture is controlled, the topical creams containing hydroquinone or pine bark extract will help reduce discoloration.Read my ebook about miraDry on the link below.Dr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
