Question

Can I know how to get rid of chicken skin and dark underarms?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I would treat the skin with Luminase and Exfolase creams, followed by fractional laser to help reduce the pigmentation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Firstly I would advice you to change your method of under-arm hair-removal. Using a razor, wax or hair-removal creams can lead to this kind of pigmentation and texture. Laser hair removal can be a good option to look into.Now coming to treating your skin condition per se, you can consult you dermatologist and go in for chemical peels for your under-arms. Lactic acid and pyruvic acid peels would help you, although it may be 3-4 sessions before you see results and may take up to 6-8 sessions before good outcome. Post peel care is a definite must for long lasting results.
