I am a 19 year old African American girl. I noticed ingrown hairs and dark scarring all over my bikini line so I started using a skin lightening cream for a couple of weeks and it made my skin even darker. Ive been doing research and I was wondering if I could use a Retin-A chemical peel or a lactic acid peel to reverse the effects? I have tried everything from oils to aloe vera.
In my second LHR session for the bikini area the lower area darkened. Time passed and it started getting lighter and lighter. I wanted to try hydroquinone for the area but I stopped after 3 applications. Now that the area is way better and lighter I went back to continue my LHR and the color didn't change. I want to avoid getting burned by lightening the area, is chemical peeling a good option ? What do you recommend and are the results guaranteed or it depends on my skin ?
so i have got a very dark bikin and genital area which i would like to get rid of by peels. I was reading through some info & got confused which one is best for me which will give me good results fast & if required i need not wait for months for another peel .Also my other question would be is would it be ok to apply skin whitening products over the peel applied area P.S : I guess i dint take perfect pics but trust me they are very dark than my overall skin colour
I am a healthy 19 year old woman w/ dark skin. For many years I have suffered from folliculitis & ingrown hairs on my bikini area which has left my bikini area extremely scarred. Is it possible to do a chemical peel on the bikini area that with help lighten the blemishes or is that too harsh? Is laser treatment the only option? I'm hoping to find something that is a fast and effective method of help scarring.
