When I was teenager, I shaved my under-pit often. But later my skin became darker and I got dark patches. Now hair grows rapidly like everyday I need to take out hair from my underpit. And also both skin sides of my vagina has same discoloration problem for too long.

Does anybody know how I can regain my original skin ton ? My skin color is fair to bright. I heard about some whitening cream which contain alpha-arbutin, hydroquinone; but I guess those are for face. Am I right? Can anybody help me by giving advice to get rid of this skin darkness?

Hi there, I'm new to this site. I have the same problem with dark patches in those areas, Did you get any good avise?

I think it's caused by a buildup of dead skin cells and sometimes bacteria. You can try a pumice stone and/or exfoliating scrub.

I would avoid using harsh chemicals in the vaginal area.

There's an old question from a couple years ago on this site that may help you out.
