An dark skin Afican american women and i have dark spot on my legs , how do i remove them?
I am sorry you have this problem but it is important that you understand that it is very common. Unfortunately, the other thing that is common is for African-American women to get hyperpigmentation as a response to stress. The scratching is stressed your skin, and a burn or acne would probably have similar results. In the areas of the dark spots, your skin has now more melanocytes and/or your melanocytes are making more melanin.
What can you do? First of all, you can avoid getting more of these dark spots by not scratching. If you scratch at night, take an over-the-counter antihistamine before you go to bed, that will help. If you do this during the day, try to keep your skin well hydrated so it will not itch, maybe using sea kelp bioferment or something similar. If you still do scratch when your skin is not itchy, you may need some help from a therapist who could help you by teaching you some useful techniques.
What about the spots you already have? Avoid the sun and use some skin lightening actives like those I use in our skin brightening cream, for example, white liquorice, glutathione, tetrahydrocurcuminoids, arbutin, melatonin, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, kojic acid dipalmitate, and superoxide dismutase.
Please remember that when you are wearing a brilliant smile, nobody notices the minute defects that our skin acquires as we live our life. A smile and kindness will beat any dark spots in your legs!
Good luck and best wishes
