Answer:

Hi Jessy, friction is the main cause of your skin discoloration because of skin rubbing against each other. I will be honest with you - unless you lose some weight, this is not going away.

You see, skin lightening will involve skin peeling, and when skin peels with friction, it will only worsen the problem. And I don't want you to expect promises here.

As a tip, without skin peeling, try to mix lemon and bath oil (lemon to lighten and bath oil to lubricate the friction) and apply once a day at bedtime when skin is at rest. It'll take time, but it might help a bit.

Take care,
Maria
