what the heck am I doing? experimenting that's it.

Lemon is a good natural lightener. I do not know alot about stretch marks, but the darkness under your arms. Have you had this problem since puberty? Is it just dark under your arms or is it dark on the outside edge of your armpits to? This darkness could be from your deodorant. The stick kind is more than likely to leave you armpits black. Because most people do not wash it off good enough and it leaves a buildup over time and this turns dark. It is a combination of skin cells and product. Try switching up deodorants for several weeks and see it the darkness starts to go away. If you are using a stick deodorant then switch to a roll on. Do 3 switches before ruling out the deodorant as the problem. Then if you shave your underarms this could be the problem. Then there is a medical condition that some people have, that makes their skin turn dark in places that rub together, for example: armpits, inner thighs, neck. So the next time you go to the doctor for something in general like a cold or allergies. Tell the doctor your problem, he could then write you a prescription for the problem. I have a niece that has the medical condition and she is light skinned to make things worst. She has blackness on her inner thighs and neck and armpits. It has something to do with the rubbing of the skin together and sweat.
