Fact 3: Abrasions cause hyper-pigmentation
When these micro-abrasions heal, they lead to skin discoloration or hyper-pigmentation. "When wounds heal, melanin form deposits in the scar, giving it its dark color," says Dr.Marquez. Melanin is the brown pigment responsible for skin color. That's how shaving leads to dark underarms. Since hair grows faster in the armpits than the legs or other body parts, women shave more often, leave more scars, and cast darker shadows on the armpits.
