Can you bleach the skin around your pubic area/butt crack? Does anyone else have this problem?

[Anonymous]

This is one of the things I hate about my skin. Do any other medium tan/very light brown people (esp. women) here have this problem? I know its common among darker asians, latinas, and black women so I can't be alone here...what do you do about this? im black and I'm very light skinned but my skin gets a lot darker there and I'm like wtf, can I bleach that ? my mom doesn't have this problem. not fair. -__-

Like anon said, you can go to certain salons and they will bleach it for you. A lot of p*rn stars do this.

There is anal bleaching and vulva whitening (makes me giggle when I say that). Basically they wax your bits and then apply an acid to it, rubbing it into your skin. Then I think they give you another cream to apply yourself. Depending on how dark your skin is and the success of the bleach, you might have to get it multiple times. It's also not permanent, so you'd have to go back to maintain it.

However, apparently there are a lot of possible side effects that happen somewhat often. It's recommended that you get it done by MDs in spas, rather than not. Burning, irritation, scarring and even darkening or total depigmentation are possible risks.

Dear God, I read about a lot of weird crap.

[Asker]

lol that's good, you can help people with weird problems. :)

[tohrment]

Hahhaaha sureee :D

I've bleached my hair before and it can sting and itch a little, there is no way I'd ever consider putting bleach down there! Its natural, most women have darker or different colored skin down there. Don't worry about it!

[Asker]

you bleached your pubes? well, I believe that actually. some girl on tumblr likes to make large hearts with her pubes and dye them red. or she did that once anyway.

[YourBruise]

Opps, I meant the hair on my head not down there. I would never consider putting any kind of chemicals down there! Anyway, most dyes for down there don't have bleach in, they're mainly natural dyes.

[Asker]

ohhh. okay. I've never bleached my hair but I have friends who went really blond and they said it hurt a lot. beauty is pain.

[peace-love-couture]

Anal bleaching

But I mean, it's natural and guys aren't really concerned with the color down there...but anal bleaching is an option if it truly bothers you.

[thatoneguy17]

Haha I like how you busted out your mom and said she didn't have this problem lol. Don't put your mom out on gag like that lol. Yeah there is anal bleach and apparantly other bleach for your other parts as well as I am learning. I have the problem of darker skin around the public area as well but I guess I don't care enough to change it but I am tan and it does get significantly darker down there.

[Asker]

lol I'm constantly jealous of my mom. she's got great skin and I hate her for it. it happens. do you believe that she has these perfectly smooth, flawless legs that just magically don't ever have hair on them? my dad ruined the gene pool, for a woman anyway. -__- if I were a guy I don't think id care about this dark pubes thing as much. maybe I would, idk. it gets so dark though. I hate it. my first boyfriend (white) actually asked me, "is it supposed to look like that?" lmao! I cried after. that's rough.

[thatoneguy17]

Haha don't be jealous of your mom, like you said it happens. Which I also say a lot so its funny you said it here lol. Uhm I guess I can believe your mom has all these great features you say she has, that and she probably takes good care of herself now. Just like your mom has these skin and hairless features you are jealous of, I'm sure your mom is jealous of a feature you have that she might not have.

[thatoneguy17]

And I guess you are right and it does bug me that my pubic skin is darker but since it balls and penis I don't know how comfortable I am using these bleach products especially since balls are more irregular skin and I don't know how effect it would be. And I'm like you it gets dark. I am like latino tan color and down there it gets many shades darker. As to your first boyfriend I don't know what his problem was. I guess sorry about that since he made you cry. I happens...

[Asker]

she claims she is. still, its hard having a good looking mom. seriously. she's 50, looks half her age, she's pretty, at a good weight...im just like, can you become obese and lose your sense of style and start wrinkling already like the other moms on the street? do you have to wear sexy costumes on Halloween? is my boyfriend really checking you out right now? do you want me to kill you? who does this bitch think she is? - these are the daily conundrums of my life. sorry for the rant.

[thatoneguy17]

Haha girl its fine. I appreciate a good rant every now and then lol. Who does this bitch think she is haha? Well I guess she is thinking that she is your pretty good looking mom huh? Your story reminds me of a friend of mine. I think hers might be worse because her mom actually said something to her. I guess my friend has darker pubic skin as well and has vaginal lips that stick out and her mom called her out on it saying what's wrong with them and how she messed them up. Now that's a bitchy mom!

[Asker]

well his problem was that he was a teenager who was inexperienced and didn't know anything about darker skin...or like, about anything. but that was ages ago. I still cried though. are you latino? that's cool. which nationality? sometimes I pretend I'm latino around strangers for kicks. because that's not weird.

[Asker]

she asked how she messed them up? lol that's horrible. I thought about calling my dad up on the phone about this and asking what he thought I should do about my dark pubic area. I was gonna ask him "daddy, what would you say if you were with a girl who had dark skin around her vagina and on her bum crack?" I decided not to though because that could be a little weird. I don't know why I'm telling you all this. I'm just really bored and avoiding my work :)

[thatoneguy17]

Haha teenagers don't know anything about anything and they sure don't know when to stop talking lol. Still sorry that you cried though because I hate when girls are made to cry. Just a person thing I guess. Yeah I am latino. I am Mexican. Naw how is pretending to be latino around strangers weird ;) haha. That's like completely normal! Do you even look latino or do look more black though?

[thatoneguy17]

Yeah she asked I guess she was in the shower as her mom was in the bathroom and she noticed or something and wanted to know. She was a very light skinned Asian and I guess she was that dark down there idk. Obviously her mom must have perfect one in her mind or something idk.Yeah I could see how calliing up and telling your dad that would be weird haha. He'd probably tell you to talk to your mom lol. Eh people tell me stuff because I'm prety open and don't care if this is weird convo.

[thatoneguy17]

Im actually like you right now, I'm bored and avoiding doing my work lol. Its all good though because you sure are entertaining :) and ya know not at all weird ;P haha. Hey if you wanna keep talking or something consider adding me I suppose at least there not everyone is gonna know your business

[Asker]

btw totally didn't ignore you, I just started getting my work done lol

[thatoneguy17]

haha don't even worry about it girl, I didn't think anything of it. It nice that you came back and told me you werent ignoring me though. After 5 days most people wouldn't bother so thank you I suppose?

[Asker]

de nada :)

[thatoneguy17]

[Anonymous]

I have very pale skin and the top of my but crack is a little more red than the rest of me. I never thought about bleaching it I just accept it's one of the things I don't like and after reading a few other answers I know it's alright to have darker skin around your private parts.

[beerY33]

Dude, it's natural. Don't bleach your skin.

[Brando]

Yeah, people bleach both areas all the time to lighten the skin tone (obviously). Not sure where they do it but if you can find out, go there to get it done.

[Honeybaby]

You can I think, but not a lot people bother as it's natural, dark skinned people are not the only ones that have this problem fair skinned people too (caucasians).

[Anonymous]

You can but personally, I wouldn't recommend it. It did lighten the skin some, but it also irritated it, A LOT. And a side effect of doing so is that it can also cause the area to become even darker.

In the end, It wasn't worth it.

[Asker]

you did it?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, I did

[Anonymous]

I have this too, I just wonder if the bleaching would burn at all? I will most likely never do anything about it. Seems pretty pointless

[Asker]

pointless but then at least it would be prettier. I need to stop watching so much p*rn is what it is. they look so perfect.

[Opinion Owner]

ya if I watch p*rn I don't get turned on I get turned off cause all the girls are perfect, lol. Id never watch that crap with my boyfriend. They are airbrushed too though remember that. I know its hard.

[Asker]

yeah, I know, I know. but I want someone to airbrush me on a daily basis. that would be nice.

[Anonymous]

there is a technique that p*rn stars do but I don't know what its called. I have this issue but I don't consider it a problem worth fixing. its normal to be darker in those areas, men and women are

[Rykar]

Yeah, I remember seeing something on TV about it concerning p*rn stars.

[Asker]

i wonder if its expensive? I'm broke anyway so not like it matters but I may ask the dermatologist about it. I'm pretty sure he'll look at me like " I've got patients with real problems to see. get over it, bitch." then again, id probably switch to a female derm. I don't feel like spreading the goods to a male doctor. thats...awkward.
