When it concerns our pubic location, well, it’s private and individual and can be embarrassing to speak about, but let’s be honest. We all have one down there, so we may too share our knowledge and help each other out.
Let’s take for instance, the typical problem of dark skin in the pubic location. Some individuals, especially women, desire to eliminate the unequal skin tone in between their legs. Can it be done naturally and achieved safely?
Yes and yes!
Initially, let’s look at the science behind this skin problem. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it has a medical name, acanthosis nigricans (AN). Besides the groin location, the darker skin can also establish on the neck and armpits. The discoloration can produce thicker skin with a smooth, practically silky touch. A dermatologist can best figure out through a physical examination and medical history if the condition is serious. In the bulk of cases, it affects healthy people who are most frequently of African descent.
You can be born with AN, or establish it from having diabetes, obesity or a glandular disorder. Experts have actually found that even specific medications like oral contraceptives can likewise trigger AN to happen on one’s private parts. There is no embarassment, since AN affects a lot of people, but a lot of are afraid to discuss it.
Our private areas are just that – private, and super personal. It’s not easy to talk about and can result in some pretty awkward conversations. The whole topic is taboo and most people avoid it at all costs. Why people don’t like talking about their private parts:
- It’s awkward
- It’s personal!
It’s no secret that we all have our own private parts, so why not help each other out and share some tidbits of information that could help us? It’s pretty common for people to have dark skin down under – especially women – but it IS possible to lighten up that skin tone.
Here are some tips to even out the skin tone where the sun don’t shine.
Before throwing ourselves into the world of the unknown, let’s take a look at what this skin condition actually is. Believe it or not, this skin condition does have a medical name, and it’s called “acanthosis nigricans”, otherwise known as AN. This condition can also occur on a person’s armpits or even their neck. It causes a discoloration which creates thicker skin and is often soft to touch.
In most cases, the condition affects those who are of African descent. Most people are born with AN, but it can also be developed from diabetes, a glandular disorder, or even obesity. It’s even possible for oral contraceptives to cause AN! So without any further ado, take a look at these natural skin care remedies that can help lighten the dark area in your nether regions.
1. Grab a lemon and massage some of the juice onto the area where the discoloration occurs. Leave it on for ten minutes before washing it off (make sure the water is warm). You should start noticing a difference (and a more even skin tone!) within one or two months.
2. Grab some sandalwood powder and rose water (you can find them at Indian grocery stores or any health store). Mix 10 drops of rose water with a spoon of sandalwood powder, and apply it to your private parts right after you bathe. Leave it on for 20 minutes, and then rinse it off. Do this three times a week. Sandalwood powder and rose water both lighten skin, so this combination is a sure shot to eliminate any dark patches.

3. Grab some 100% pure Aloe Vera Gel from your local drugstore and massage it into where the discoloration occurs. Let it sit for 20 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.
4. This one sounds a bit weird, but try it out. Plain yogurt is actually a pretty amazing lightener. Massage the yogurt onto your dark areas and let it sit for 15 minutes. Wash it away with warm water and do this every day for a few weeks until you start seeing results. Plain yogurt is cool and soothing on the skin, so you won’t experience any irritability.
5. Mix two tablespoons of orange juice and just a pinch of turmeric powder together and apply it to your private areas every day for 20 minutes, and then wash it off. Oranges have natural bleachers in them, and turmeric powder lightens the skin. Indian women use it because of its ability to lighten the skin.
6. Apply water and gram flour to your private area. Let it dry and then rinse it off with water. Do this three times a week and you should start noticing changes. Gram flour is great for exfoliation and it also lightens skin, so it should work like a charm!
