I have dark black skin from my crotch and groin, vaginal area. Please help me with some home treatments.

A lot of people have dark groins. This can really be an embarrassing condition, especially if you have been planning to go sunbathing or spend some time in your bathing suit. It is because of this reason that skin whitening products have become especially popular commercially.

These over the counter skin whitening lotions and gels can help you deal with the dark groin area. However, these are not the right kind of skin whitening treatment options because these often contain harsh chemicals, which cause further harm to the delicate skin in the groin region.

Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent and using this on your darkened skin can really help whiten your skin. The darkened skin on inner thighs occurs due to chafing of the skin between the legs. If you have excessive weight, losing the weight can help you deal with this problem as well.

Regular exfoliation of the skin in the thighs and groin area can help slough off dead skin to reveal softer and whiter skin. However, since the skin in the groin region is very delicate, it is important to make sure that you use only homemade exfoliates like oats. You can also apply sour milk or buttermilk to the region as well.

What causes darkening of the skin around the groin area?

If you have dark skin in your groin area, there could be a lot of different causes for it. In most people, darkening of skin in the upper thighs region or the groin is caused solely due to chafing of the skin. Every time you walk, the friction between your thighs, when combined with sweat, may cause the skin around your thighs as well as your groin to darken.

Apart from this, skin discoloration causes include spilling of insulin in the skin. Elevated insulin levels are typically seen in those who are obese and those who are suffering from type 2 diabetes. There is also a possibility that the darkened groin may be caused due to side-effects from certain medications.

Darkened skin anywhere in the body could also be caused due to medical conditions such as Addison's disease. Though rare, darkened skin in the groin could also be caused due to hormonal disorders, specifically those of the thyroid gland. Acanthosis nigricans is a condition that is characterized by unusual darkening of the folds of skin. This is hereditary and it could, in rare cases, cause a darkened groin area. Such darkening of the skin may also be seen around the neck, the elbows and the ankles. You will need some skin discoloration remedies for this condition.

Are there any foods that help to lighten skin tone?

Your skin and hair are made of proteins, and therefore, a good diet will help you keep both of these healthy. There are some foods to improve complexion, and when you consume these, your skin will not only be lighter but it will also have better texture and tone. The best foods for healthy skin include lemons, which are high in vitamin C. Both vitamin C and citric acid help lighten the skin. You can consume fresh lime water to meet the daily vitamin C requirements. You can also apply some lemon juice on your face, which is a natural bleaching agent.

Another great remedy for dark skin is bilberries extract. This fruit contains tannins and antioxidants, both of which are beneficial for the skin. You can make a smoothie with yogurt and bilberries to treat any kind of facial pigmentation. High quality bilberry extracts can help you lighten your complexion. Papaya is high in vitamin A, and it is also widely used for skin treatments and lightening of complexion. Both the flesh of papaya fruit as well as the extracts from the seeds of papaya can be used for lightening your skin complexion. There are no quick results on any of these remedies, so you will need to keep using them for a few weeks before you can see any kind changes in your complexion.

How to get rid of dark skin around the groin area?

If you want to get rid of dark skin, here’s how you can do it:

• Dark skin around the groin can be treated effectively with the help of topical bleaches that are manufactured specifically for the delicate skin of your groin. However, these bleaches could still cause damage to the delicate area, and if you have sensitive skin, it is best to avoid such chemicals.
• To prevent skin darkening, maintain a healthy weight so that your thighs do not chafe against each other. To improve your skin tone in the groin area, you can make a mixture of lime juice, yogurt and turmeric powder. This remedy can help you lighten the groin area very fast.
• Lemon oil can also be mixed with bath oils to help lighten dark inner thighs and the groin area. Simply massage this oil into the affected area and repeat as often as required. This will help lighten the skin tone.
• Avoid wearing synthetic underwear that is tight. Well-fitted cotton underwear is not only more comfortable, but also absorbs sweat and prevents chafing of your skin. Also try to avoid wearing tight pants or leggings.
• Find yourself a bath soap with licorice as an ingredient. You can use this soap to clean between your legs as well as your groin. This will help soften the skin and also lighten the complexion.
