How Can I Fix Dark Scaly Skin Between Breasts? (photo)

As you can see in the pictures the skin between my breasts is very dark, and rigid-looking. The skin is very soft if I heavily moisturize, but if I dont it gets very dry. Ive had this concern for awhile, maybe 4-6 years. It isn't painful, but it has been an eyesore for too long.

I have the same problem, but not just between my breasts. I had it on my upper thighs, on my biceps, and on my heels. If anyone knows the cause let me know, but I've been using an all natural sugar scrub twice per week and Curel Intensive Healing Cream after every shower, and it seems to be helping. The scaly bits on my thighs and arms have just about disappeared, and the patch on my ankles on chest seem to be gradually fading away. You just gotta keep at it!

I'm glad this is working for you i think i will do the same . I personally think on my case it may be because of the size of my boobs that makes them always touching each other no matter what kind of bra i wear you like it happens to certain woman during pregnancy the difference is ive never been pregnant.how do u make the natural sugar exfoliation? If u dont mind telling me of course..i really wish u the best im sick of this situation

Its a type of problem you have with shedding skin, Exfoliate and then apply aloe to the skin every morning, then before bed apply Differin Gel (get from a dermatologist) and it clears it up completely in 1 -2 weeks! I have had this problem sense I first got breasts.

I haven't found anything. It's very depressing. Mine is noticeable when I'm wearing lower cut tops, and it's embarrassing. :(
