Anyone else get discoloration under armpit?

this is my second pregnancy and both times, my armpit area gets weird looking...brown lines and more ingrown hairs and it just looks unattractive.  Has anyone else gotten this?  I think it went away last time, i just hope it goes back to normal this time, b/c it's so emabarrassing that i don't want to lift my arms.

    This is also happening to me. My mom told me it happened to her and then went away a few months after she delivered. Crossing my fingers Ill be good my next summer.

    Yup, it's happening to me and I don't like it at all.  Call me vain.

    Whew! I am glad I am not the only one. I just noticed it a few weeks ago and was trying to figure out if it was pregnancy related.

    Yep, I don't know about hairs, but my armpits are SO dark, they look like I haven't washed them in a decade.  It did start fading after I had the baby pretty quick though.  I hope that's what'll happen this time too.

    It's happening to me too! I think I'm going to use my clarisonic on them this weekend, they have gotten so dark and gross!

    Huh, me too, but I'm pretty much done being pregnant and I only really noticed it about 2 weeks ago! I thought it was a reaction to my natural deo. Oh well, it's almost winter, by the time it's summer / short sleeve weather again I'm sure it'll be gone!

    Not sure about lines and ingrowns, but my hair is definitely growing more quickly and it's darker, so that even a day after waxing, it looks like I have a 4 oclock shadow. Not nice!

    :(

    It's pretty much back to normal now.

    I have that and didn't even think about it being related to pregnancy! I thought it had something to do with my waxing or something. How silly of me. Knowing it is a pregnancy thing makes me feel better though - and I'll hope it goes away soon.
