If she uses hair removal creams they can cause the skin to darken or it could be the deodorant she uses.
She could try rubbing slices of lemon over the area twice a day.
Failing that, she could consider skin bleaching.

Maybe it's just where extra pigmentation has collected and over the years, if she's a regular armpit shaver, it's caused these marks to darken.

Perhaps she should ask her GP to refer her to a Dermatologist, maybe there is a treatment like laser Resurfacing or some kind of peel, which could improve the appearance of the area.
