Odd dark patches - dark knees, inner thighs and uneven skin tone

by Jammy
(UK)

Hi Maria, I have really been in 2 minds as to whether I should write to you or not. I am a member of the skin lightening Report which I purchased online and for nearly a year I have tried their natural products with no results whatsoever. They recommend all the ingredients you have listed here, provide on line support to any questions have options for homemade potions with lemon, cucumber and papaya as well as ready made creams for those who dont have the time to make the home made potions.

I am so disheartened and absolutely gutted that nothing worked. I have the odd dark path on my ankle which isn't that bad but is noticeable and I didnt even see any improvement with this.

I have spent so much time money and effort that I dont even know that what you have will work. I am 28 and asian of fair skin but for some reason my skin tone turned more yellowy brown rather than the fair with a rosy glow. I have had blood tests etc and they always come back normal but I know that it isn't.

My skin on neck went dark all of a sudden, I had laser hair removal treatment and that must have reacted with something in my body because my inner thigh and bikini area, chest, inner elbows, knees all went darker. A while back my stomach also went 3 shades darker. I have no idea what caused it but I feel so unnattractive and conscious that Im always covering up and cant get married because of these problems.

There was a time once that I loved my fair skin and now I just want to at least get rid of the problem areas - the dark patches on my feet, lighten my stomach area back to its original colour and my neck and lighten my knees. Im sooo scared of using anything harsh incase it gets worse and then I dont know what to do.

I have used a potion of lemon juice cucumber juice followed by soy milk, in between I used a 40% lactic acid peel for about 20mins once a week. This didnt work so I was advised to use a readymade cream by skin actives that was natural and contained arburin, liqourice vitamin c etc - I used this day and night for about 2 months and nothing and now I use a cream by otentika mixed with 7 caps of powdered niacinimide.

But again nothing so please please help me by the grace of god. I am so lost and desperate and dont wnat to invest in something that will not work. Please reply to me soon.

Hi Jammy, it was awful what you have gone through. I could feel your frustration that struck the sense of responsibility in me to help you. I hope my opinion as a friend can enlighten you or to the least make your feelings better.

I myself bought the Skin Lightening Report more than a year ago, to gain more information and get home remedy tips that could widen my horizon. To my dismay, I found the home lightening concoctions not so easy to procure or gather together. It failed my expectations, and has a crazy thought that I could write an ebook myself! But no thanks. I'd rather give FREE information to my valued readers.

You know Jammy, as much as I wanted to guarantee you that our skin whitening products WILL work for you, I can't. No skin product should promise to be a miracle cure. Unless you try one, you'll be the best judge. We can only guarantee the quality and potency of our products as a good bet. I can't promise you that it will. But it CAN work for you.

You have your own unique skin sensitivity. How your type of skin reacts to any skin lightener is yet to be seen. This is true even for our products. The only difference may be our commitment to support and guide you along the skin lightening process.

I'm still concerned about dark spots suddenly appearing on different parts of your body. Although these can be treated with the right skin lightening product, your non-responsiveness to any of them in the past can be an alarm. I don't mean to scare you, but what we're after here is figuring out a way to get a solution.

Usually, when a person suffers from diabetes, dark spots are likely to appear. Acanthosis nigricans or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can be the cause of the pigmentation, both are triggered by insulin problem or sugar imbalance. Try to undergo some test on this.

Otherwise, if it's totally superficial, come visit our Diana Stalder Skin Whitening Products page, scroll down to the blue table box for the "Quick Product Guide" and choose the right whitening soap, lotion, or cream for your type of skin and age.

Stress contributes much to deteriorating skin. Try to relax and avoid giving much attention on the ugly things you see. Focus on the solution, not the problem. Stay beautiful because regardless of how you look, you are still one pretty thing.
