not sure if anyone have this problem, there seems to have dark patches in the inner-thigh of both right and left leg. the dark patch are caused by the rubbing action when you walk.
is there any cream or lotion that can be apply to lighten this ugly dark patch? |

Oddly enough, as I was researching chemical peels for undereye circles, this exact question came up on a plastic surgery Q&A site. Here's what it said:
Question:
can you lighten the inner thigh/leg, which is referred to as SCRUB?
Answer:
Dear Debbie, You are referring to darker skin in the upper, inner thighs which occurs in some people. This is actually a form of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (long word meaning darkening of skin after prolonged irritation). I would suggest that the cause of the irritation be addressed first. The thighs must stop rubbing or the condition will return. The darker skin color is best bleached with a 4% hyroquinone bleaching cream or treated with a laser that reduces pigmentation. Scribbing the area or using chemical peels usually is not at all helpful since more pigment is made by the irritation. |
