Do they ever go away? I'm worried I'll never be able to wear sleeveless even after I lose all the weight

Madeleine --

I've had the dark patches for years, and I always thought it was due to my heritage (well, it is but not for the reasons I thought...) so I never really paid attention to it. I wear sleeveless all the time and really, who cares what other people think? If they are rude enough to comment, be truthful about the reason for it if you wish to, even if it is just to say that it is a medical condition -- generally that will be enough to get them to feel bad for commenting negatively. No body is perfect.

You know Kat, I never thought of this at all.

I have had dark underarms since I hit puberty. And when I gained more weight, before my pcos diagnosis, my knees were dark, under my breasts and at my hips. Since the glucophage, I have lighter knees, the dark patch under my breasts is gone and the ones at my hips. I still have dark underarms, but they are lighter than they ever were.

I am shocked sitting here thinking about it.

Now If I could only get my facial hair to stop growing. LOL.
