The underarm skin is thinner, more sensitive, and exposed to friction, sweat, and hair removal, making it more prone to irritation. Using glycolic acid can cause burning, redness, or increased sensitivity. For concerns such as pigmentation, odour, or irritation, it is safer to use products specifically formulated for that area. If you have any concerns, it is advised to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Glyco 6 Cream contains Glycolic acid, which is a mild exfoliating agent that can help improve uneven skin tone and reduce superficial pigmentation over time. Glycolic acid may provide some benefit, but it works slowly and is usually not very effective on its own for stubborn or deep pigmentation. The cream should be used with caution, as it may cause irritation or increased skin sensitivity, especially if sun protection is not used. Strict daily use of sunscreen is essential, as otherwise the darkening may persist or worsen despite treatment. It is best to avoid using steroid-containing creams like SkinLite unless prescribed, as they may thin the skin and cause rebound pigmentation. Please consult a dermatologist for a more effective and personalised treatment plan.

Glyco 6 Cream contains 6% glycolic acid, which can help with mild pigmentation and uneven skin tone by exfoliating dead cells, but neck darkening and black patches may result from various causes, such as sun exposure, friction, infections, acanthosis nigricans, or other medical conditions. Because the underlying cause isn’t always the same, self‑treating with glycolic acid can sometimes irritate sensitive neck skin or worsen the problem. It’s best to consult a dermatologist, who can identify the exact reason for your pigmentation and guide you toward the safest and most effective treatment.

Pimples and acne with dark marks are usually due to excess oil, clogged pores, and inflammation in the skin. Keep your face clean with a gentle wash, avoid touching or picking, use light non-oily products, and protect your skin from the sun to prevent marks. Maintain a healthy diet, drink enough water, and manage stress to support skin healing. If it keeps coming back or leaves marks, consult a doctor for proper treatment and to improve your skin health.

Underarm pigmentation can result from several factors, including friction from tight clothing, frequent shaving or hair removal, reactions to deodorants or creams, hormonal changes such as thyroid or PCOS, obesity or diabetes, and certain skin conditions like eczema or acanthosis nigricans. Because the causes vary, the safest approach is to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation so the underlying reason can be identified and tailored treatment recommended, rather than self‑treating with creams that may irritate the sensitive underarm area.

Pimples are very common and highly treatable. For mild to moderate breakouts, over-the-counter creams containing benzoyl peroxide (to kill bacteria) or salicylic acid (to unclog pores) are highly effective. Prescription options like topical retinoids (such as adapalene or tretinoin) help prevent new pimples by renewing skin cells. For inflamed acne, topical antibiotics like clindamycin may be prescribed. It is best to pair these with a gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Please consult a healthcare provider or dermatologist to tailor a safe, effective plan for your specific skin type.
