As the intimate areas tend to be darker than other areas of the body, there is usually no medical reason to lighten them. The skin all over the body changes over time, and this includes the private regions like the vulva and vagina. This darkening is called intimate hyperpigmentation.
Darkening down there can be due to several factors, such as:
There may be no health benefits to intimate Area lightening, but it can help increase your confidence. If darkened intimate areas make you self-conscious, having the region lightened can make you feel more attractive and invigorated. There is also the potential benefit of enhanced intimacy or confidence during intercourse.
Here are a few things to keep in mind to reduce your risk of complications:
Be wary of intimate area lightening products online – Experts warn against the use of intimate bleaching/lightening kits brought online. As the skin in intimate areas can be more sensitive, they can be easily irritated with ingredients that are not intended to be used down there. Many online products are also unregulated and can have strong chemicals that can cause irritation, itchiness, and further darkening.
Don’t DIY it – Several DIY hacks that claim to whiten your intimate areas often use kitchen pantry products, such as honey, coconut oil, yogurt, potatoes, and others. These, however, are not intended to be used in the genital areas and can cause irritation and other unwanted side effects when used incorrectly.
Work with a professional – This is the ideal approach when deciding to tackle the discoloration down there. It is best to go to a clinic or see a doctor who has experience in performing intimate area lightening and uses the right method/solution intended for the genitals.
