Answer:

Hi Monica, stop scrubbing as friction will only worsen the problem.

Skin folds such as inner thighs and underarms are already subjected to daily friction - against surrounding skin and clothing we wear. So scrubbing is a no-no.

Since you're only 15, try to experiment on homemade skin whitening remedies or the simplest of them all - lemon and bath oil. :)
