Hi there Llisa

 

It seems that deoderant can cause this green tinge if you had it on when you did the spray tan. 

 

I am thinking that it will go away in time but I am not sure how long it will take.  Did you have this done in a salon or did you do this at home?  You could ask the salon or call the manufacturer.  One thing you can do is exfoliate your skin in the shower with one of those body scrubs.  In the meantime cover up and don't wear anything which shows your armpits.

 

I am sorry this happened to you!  For any spray tanning you need to exfoliate first and don't use deoderant.

 

Hope this helps some.
