dark genital area
by selina
hello, i have an olive skin tone everywhere except my vaginal lips, they are 3 shades darker . im very self conscience about this. i am sexually active and shave my pubic region. does this contribute to the darkness? how can i safely lighten the skin and can i do this at home?
Answer:
Hi Selina, darkening of the external vaginal area is very common and comes with aging and friction against surrounding skin and underwear. It can take time to lighten this area because it is always exposed to the same factors that caused it to discolor.
However, it is not impossible to achieve your goal. Although it cannot totally get rid of the dark spot, it can at least lighten the pigmentation.
Try any of our skin whitening creams and apply thinly every other day only, because this area is also thin and sensitive. Try to wear loose clothing during this process until you see a lightening improvement. Thereafter, maintenance is 1-2x a week only.
Hope that info helps.
