Self Conscious (dark feet)

I am a 25 year old African American female and I have always had jobs that require alot of standing in athletic shoes. On top of that, I also had surgery on a toe on my left foot, that scar really doesnt bother me, but it is the spots that are on the tops and sides of my toes on BOTH feet :(.....I'm not saying that I've always foot model material feet, but at least I felt comfortable wearing open toed shoes and sandals, now I dont feel comfortable at all! I feel like everyone will just stare at them, its gotten so bad that I've even stopped going to get pedicures. I just want to know if there is a product that will really work without an irritating burn, doesnt cost me an arm and leg, have a pungent smell, doesnt leave more darker damage than when I started, and doesnt require me to not wear shoe...I mean who really has that option if they work???

Anyway, I look forward to hearing what suggestions you have for me, and I have uploaded a picture (I hope that is doesnt scare you or others readers that may see this too).

Hello there, photos help us suggest solutions, so I appreciate your effort submitting the picture. Now let me make a suggestion.

Our feet are always subject to friction because of wearing tight shoes. Friction causes skin darkening. Of course you can still wear your shoes because heck, we need them! :)

But now, you can treat the pigmentation at the same time. Try the Diana Stalder Lightening Cream and apply 2x daily. Do this until you see signs of skin peeling. Peeling is necessary to remove the dark skin layer off while lightening the resurfacing layer.

There is no need for sunscreen because you don't expose them to the sun. When skin is already peeling, it's time to use a rich moisturizer (your feet looked dry) to bring out that even-toned soft skin effect. Wouldn't that be beautiful?

So when you apply 2x a day, morning and night, wait until skin peels. When this happens, after you apply the lightening cream at bedtime, wait 10 minutes before applying your moisturizer to allow skin to absorb the lightening cream first.

The skin on the feet are thick-skinned which means it can take weeks before you see an improvement. Be patient. You'll get there. :)
