How can the skin around private parts be lightened?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a skin issue where the skin between my thighs and around my private area, as well as my butt, has darkened. Additionally, the skin in these areas looks dull, while the skin on the upper and lower parts of my body seems fine. What could be causing this, and what is the best treatment?

Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The skin in these areas is naturally darker than the rest of the body, especially in skin types ranging from three to six. This pigmentation can be reduced by regularly applying combination products containing vitamin C and kojic acid to these areas. Add antioxidants to your diet and drink plenty of water. Apply a moisturizer containing glutathione, vitamin C extract, and kojic acid to these areas twice daily for a month. Drink plenty of fresh, clean water. Follow up after a month

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
