Dark inner thighs? Treatment for dark inner thighs #shorts

Dark inner thigh is common complaint.
👉Mild darknening is normal but if there is significant difference in colour between the inner thighs and front of thigh or there is thickening of skin along with darkening then you might need to consult with your doctor .
Causes :
👉Chaffing and Friction : Rubbing of two surfaces can cause trapping of sweat that makes the area moist.There can also be redness,irritation and itching which can heal with darkness.
👉Hormonal Disturbances: Acanthosis Nigricans and PCOS can cause darkening of inner thighs.If there is darknening and thickening of skin in other body parts such as neck and underarms,then we have to rule out Acanthosis Nigricans.
👉After fungal infection: These infections are common in groin area,when fungal infection resolves, it leaves behind dark spots.
👉How to reduce:
✅ Loosing weight can help in reducing the rubbing of two thigh surfaces
✅ Wear loose cotton clothing and avoid tight synthetic clothes and denims
✅ Avoid waxing that area as application of hot wax followed by injury while pulling the strip can make darkening worse.
👉Treatment
✅ Use moisturiser twice daily.Use a thick moisturiser or moisturiser with lactic acid as lactic acid is mild AHA that helps in gentle exfoliation while moisturising effectively.Thereby reducing friction between two surfaces.
✅ Glycolic acid based creams can be used once or twice a week at night only.Apply a layer of moisturiser first then apply this cream.Wear loose cotton clothing to sleep so that the cream is not rubbed off.
❌ Do not use glycolic acid creams if there is redness or irritation in the area as it can irritate the area further.Allow the area to heal first.
👉Some in clinic treatments are also helpful such as:
✅ Microdermabrasion
✅ Laser
✅ Chemical peel
👉Consult with your doctor if there is thickening of skin along with darkening or if there is no improvement after using these products.
👉Products mentioned:
✅ suganda lactic body lotion
