Hi. I am South Asian with caramel skin tone. My groin, elbow, knees, neck, and armpits are very dark. I know I probably have acanthosis nigricans because I am prediabetic. I'm super embarrased about my armpits. I have tried tretinoin 0.025% and I don't see much results. It has also made me very sweaty in my underarms. I want to know if laser therapy will work and how long will it take and are the effects temporary or permanent?
I recently purchased Melarase am and pm in the facial brightening kit RR complex via a link here on RealSelf for lightening of my intimate areas, inner thighs and groin. It seemed to be working, and then it started burning. I noticed my intimate areas, groin and inner thighs began to dry out, peel and turn dark. It wasn't until I went back on the karemd website to do more research and found the RR complex would cause PIH. Will the body brightening kit help reverse this, I just purchased it help!
Very dark Underarm and groin area: PCOD. 36 year old Asian Indian My periods are regular now without oral contraceptives used to regularize them. Am still on metformin 1000 mg daily to help with insulin resistance I guess. Overweight by 5 kgs. Do I have any long term options to treat discolouration?
I'm a 23-year-old Latina woman of light complexion. Is there a reason and a solution for having a darker skin tone in my bikini and groin area? I shave, never waxed. It's become really embarrassing. I'm ashamed of wearing any type of swim suit to the beach. Is there anyway to lighten the skin and reduce the dark spots? Thank you.
