Can anything be done about the darkened skin I have on the insides of my thighs?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

It makes me look unwashed and I hate it so much.

I recently saw a supplement called Glutathione mentioned as being helpful for a condition I have. When I googled it, it seemed to suggest it also had skin lightening properties, but I didn’t look into it too much as that isn’t what I wanted it for.

The Eucerin anti-pigment dual serum with thiamidol in has had good clinical results. I saw a before and after video. Pricy though, and you have to use consistently for a few weeks for good results.

Isn’t it normal? A feature of being human?

This is totally normal and largely genetic- some people get it and some don’t. It doesn’t look bad.

exfoliating and moisturiser regularly make a slight difference. I wouldn’t use lightening cream on that delicate skin.

It doesn’t mean I have to like it

Do you have PCOS? It’s one of the symptoms darkening of the skin in certain areas of the body
(also neck armpits and under breasts)

No, I understand that, but women’s bodies are always needing to be modified because we’re encouraged to think of them as dirty or disfigured, and they aren’t! I just wanted to say it’s normal.

I think it indicates your blood sugar isn’t controlled well. Drop a lot of carbs maybe?

I had no idea this wasn’t something all women had!
Well you live and learn.

No but I am overweight which can also be a cause I believe, from rubbing/chafing. I’ve lost 5st since April, still have a few more to go though.

I’ve barely eaten any carbs at all since April, there’s none left for me to drop 🤣

I know that serums like niacinamide and bit c are recommended for hyperpigmentation on the face - worth researching?

No advice but bloody well done on the weight loss! Wish i had the willpower, have around 2 stone to shift.

Really? This is something I’ve never heard of or noticed before! Which tbf OP probably means it’s only you that is noticing yours
