Answer:

Hello, dark spots commonly appear especially during pregnancy, but they also fade away a few months after you give birth. Nevertheless, some spots stay pigmented.

Lemon is a good lightening agent, but it can be too acidic and drying for a sensitive area like the underarms. Probably, you can mix lemon with bath oil to make it less harsh for the skin.
