When white clothes start to get a yellow tinge around the armpits, you might assume that sweat caused the stain, and that's only half right. The real cause of these yellowish stains is a mixture of the minerals (especially salt) in sweat mixing with the ingredients in antiperspirant or deodorant (primarily aluminum). Hope this helps :))

If your yellow armpit stains have just begun to take shape, a vinegar or lemon juice spot treatment may send them away. Place up to three tablespoons of vinegar or fresh lemon juice in about a cup of regular tap water. Rub the mixture into the stained area using circular motions.
