hi, maria i had eczema but now i have black marks all over my legs and around my eyes... the eczema is gone im just left with black marks.. what can i use please help.

Answer:

Hi KP, the Papaya Kojic Acid Soap and Lightening Cream is featured on the above link as a "Fade Freckles Lightening Kit". Use as directed on the instruction sheet that will come with the package.

My concern is the black marks around your eyes, because this area is the most sensitive and thinnest part of our skin. If these are dark undereye circles NOT caused by eczema, then we have suggested solutions here -

Dark Under Eye Circles

If caused by eczema, I suggest that you apply the Lightening Cream every other day at night, then after 10-15 minutes apply a rich eye cream moisturizer. You can use the Papaya Soap on the first week only to induce skin peeling. Once you feel the skin shedding off the dark skin layer bit by bit, do NOT pull the skin but very gently dab off the peeling skin. Moisturize also at daytime and wear a high SPF sunscreen (SPF 45 or higher) when going outdoors.

Hope this helps.

Maria
