Dark inner thighs



Recommended Posts

Hello ladies,

I hoping someone here has some experience in getting rid of this. I have darker skin on my inner thighs from the years of them rubbing together. Now that I am losing weight... and have a pool party to go to... I would love to know if anyone knows a way to get rid of this or to make it lighter. It is soooo ugly!

Thanks!

Make a homemade sugar scrub (google for the how-to), and add pure lemon juice to it, and you can apply straight lemon juice it. Over-moisture those areas after your done and allow it to dry. I'm pasty white, but my thighs had a funky reddish tone to them. The lemon sugar-scrub and applying lemon juice helped. Plus, the more weight I lost, the less they rubbed together so that definitely helped too. Now, all my skin is the same color.

Whatever Michael Jackson used seemed to work wonders... :blink:

Seriously though, you can buy fade cream at the grocery/drug store. I have a few sun spots on my face and it has helped quite a bit. I imagine it would work on thighs just as well.

I used to have the same problem and once my thighs stopped rubbing together sometime around size 8, the skin there faded to match the rest of my body in a matter of a few weeks. It will go away on its own before you know it!

South beach skin solutions. We sell this at my salon for backside lightening. But can be used anywhere. Quite expensive but worth every penny!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
