Underarm darkening after waxing

Underarm darkening after waxing

I always used either trimming or shaving my armpits

But for the first time in my life I went for waxing

The lady said the hair was too short from trimming

And agreed to threading🩸🩸😭

I somehow survived through it

After two weeks I went some other place for waxing

Immediately after this waxing my armpits which had a bit of pigmentation turned super dark

A pigmented patch formed in both my armpits

I took this reports to a dermatologist and she wrote in the diagnosis as acanthosis nigricans

She told me use fluconazole dusting powder everyday and to reduce carbs

My BMI is 24 and I have already got down one kilo since doctor’s appointment

Is anyone going through this ? I need some help!! I wanna wear tank tops this summer 🙆‍♀️
