Try the following home remedies to lighten your pigmented skin on the neck and face and also lighten the scars -
- Don’t try to peel your skin, the problem of scars or the black/pigmented skin would not be solved by it. Instead it would leave the skin in an inflamed situation if you scratch or peel it.
- Lemon is a natural bleaching agent. Cut a ridge of lime and rub it over the pigmented skin near the neck and face. Wash it after 20-30 minutes with cold water.
- Mix a spoon of lime juice with oatmeal and yoghurt. Apply this mixture on the pigmented skin and leave it for 20 minutes and then wash it off with cold water.
- Load your diet with lots of vitamin C. include foods like oranges, papaya, strawberries, green peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, dark green leafy vegetables, broccoli and pineapple. These foods would help improve the skin texture.
Consult a specialist (dermatologist) for exact diagnosis of the black patches or if the problem persists or increases.
