just a few years ago I thought I was the only woman with dark inner tights in the world, I'm glad I found this channel, thank you doctor for this movie
@@girldes yes, it's true, it is a very embarrassing problem, there is little talk about treatments for these areas of the body, so I am grateful for the fact that there is this movie and other women share their methods
@@jestemkamieniem7681 I find it so hard to figure out what’s true and what’s phony. It’s such a struggle. I’m like what the heck can I do? Can I put tattoos on my inner thighs to cover it up? But no that’s too weird.. plus I need to get rid of the bumps. Friction is the devil I tell you. It’s just an ugly situation down there, its in need of help. But I’m cluelessss.
My inner thigh was never noticeably dark until my weight gain and my chafing issues. I plan on loosing weight and using these products ! Thanks! I hope they work. The discoloration honestly isn’t a big deal but the discomfort and rash is.
The other day before I saw this video I decided to use my ordinary lactic acid 5% and Carave lotion on my inner thigh after I broke out after shaving. The next day it a much lighter and the brake outs almost gone. Im glad i to see that I was on the right train of thought to solve my problem and not the only one that deals with this
My gosh, I thought I was the only woman with this it's none of my friends have this discoloration. They wear their swimsuits with no issues. I was also a dancer and was so thankful for the nude opague hose that we wore when performing as they covered the discoloration up.
When I wear skirts, shorts or dresses and I know I will definitely start chafing. I apply deodorant it so works doesn’t let your legs burn when they chaf and it lets you Rome worry free
wonderfully explained. Thankyou Dr.Dray. But guys along with 1. AHA exfoliant +physical barriers+skin lightening agents(ambifade cream), 2. I would also recommend thigh tightening exercises. else you wud be stuck in a cycle -{ chaffing-hyperpigmentation-skinglightening-chaffing} and exercise can double as an easing factor for PCOS and also Type 2-DM. pls try it.
Try Papaya glutathione and mulberry lotion. This lotion contains extract of papaya, mulberry extract, glutathione and vitamin c. It has lightened my inner thighs and underarms. I use it as a daily moisturizer. Hope this is helpful.
I always thought that that area was "naturally" a tad bit darker, now I don't have really an issue, not with discoloration in any case, but I can imagine this can be a huge problem for people. Thank you for this video. Looking forward to tomorrow! :)
@@Littlekitten_ yes, but it didn't work for me. I ended up doing other things to lighten them a bit. My legs are also wicked pale. I've started using deodorant on my inner thighs to lessen friction, and also using an exfoliant to encourage turn over of my skin cells. Then, I use a lightening cream.
So interesting that you mention the different strengths of retinol and their effectiveness. So many RUclipsrs talk endlessly about how they are "adapting" their skin to higher and higher percentages of retinol for more or faster results. As always, thanks for the info! :)
I had this issue from gaining weight from my last pregnancy but I used the lighten cream twice daily for 2 months and disappeared. And thank God because it caused me to have insecurities in my sex life with my husband. But hands down it's works 100%
I'm insecure about the discoloration but to my knowledge I don't have PCOS. Can you guys tell me a little bit about that and how you got diagnosed? Thank you! And did you notice this discoloration from a very early age?
So y'all... My inner thighs are so dark they're like purple! I bought ground turmeric, olive oil, baking soda, a cup of Siggi's plain yogurt, and manuka raw honey. The yogurt really made it pasty. I put it on my thighs at 2 in the morning and slept at 2:30am. I woke up at 10:30am, used my brown sugar and olive oil scrub to get rid of the dry pieces and rinsed... And then I realized... Where did it go?!?!?! The dark spot, the length of my hand... Was GONE y'all GONE!!!! I think this should be sold in beauty care somewhere. I literally just eyeballed everything. I got a medium size cereal bowl and filled it about half way with turmeric. Then I added half as much baking soda. I added a lot of olive oil, enough to saturate thoroughly all the dry turmeric. Then the manuka honey, the one I have is an 8 oz container so even if it looks like you used a lot you always have more when it settles, so about 1/3. And then last but not least a cup of Siggi's plain yogurt. I am a fan of all their flavors but that one, too plain, so it's perfect for concoctions! The yogurt really makes it into a perfect batter, not too runny but like a pliable clay. I know this was not asked for, but I also applied it to my bits and my purple labia and surprisingly they are a shade lighter. Slower than the rest but definitely shows improvement!
@@hokageari1746 When I woke up 8 hours later! I know that over night isn't everyone's thing. Maybe if you leave it on 30 minutes to an hour every other or every 3 days, you'll definitely see changes! Even within the first application you will see a result. But the longer it is left on, the better the results.
Before anyone has anything else negative to say about this post, let me clear it's name for you. Yes, you have and you will see this comment on many videos similar to this one. Why? Because I unselfishly wanted to let as many people know as possible that the results I had worked and wanted to help another person. Is that a bad thing? Now days, it's always people looking out for themselves, but why can't we look out for one another? Stop looking at things so negatively and think positively would you? Thanks.
Some fail to mention is “overweight”. I say this with “ because not all overweight have dark inner thighs but just the fact that your thighs rob against each other, due being bigger thighs is also a factor. Losing weight or training your legs in way so your legs don’t rub against each other also helps ☺️
I use my lower percentage of tretinoin (0.025%) on my armpit and my inner thighs every other night, combined with AHA BHA face wash-- and my armpit looks better now.
Tried the AmLactin products from a free sample at Walgreens a while back .. true love on site .. contain rich emollients and other creamy humectants that work in concert with Lactic Acid to instantly hydrate, plus relieve roughness. Use daily to reveal the skin’s underlying healthy-looking texture and appearance. AmLactin gently exfoliates plus deeply hydrates to relieve rough, dry skin. That’s
I never thought much about it but one day when I was wearing shorts one of my friend asked me if I didn't scrub my thigh area. Damn I became so insecure after that

I’ve used the Ambi fade cream on my neck and unfortunately that ate right through my skin. It gave me a rash so bad so I had to stop using it. Mine is caused by my type 2 diabetes but since I’ve lost some weight it definitely has lighten up. I might have to check out the other products for the inner thigh area.
Great tips!!! I use Lanacane/Monistat for chafing during the day to avoid too much friction. Thank you for a great video again Dr. Dray. Have a great day ☕

I wish you health and love ... please take care of yourself ... you have a lot of fans and love from people that depend on you for all that you do ... xoxo
I don't have dark inner thighs, but my lower butt is darker than the rest of my body. I have tried almost all home remedies but nothing worked so I decided to try more expensive products like Paula's Choice Skin Revealing lotion and it has lightened my skin a little after about 2 weeks of use. I'm also using a local butt scrub and serum with glycolic acid alternately down there. I just want to wear those cheeky swimsuits so bad! I'm so jealous of women who can show off their ass cheeks 😂😂😂
I struggle with this. Thanks for the tips Dr. Dray. My thighs is getting lighter, thanks to using The Ordinary Peeling Solution, and retinol. It's still dark down there but much lighter than what it was before.
Hi Dr. Dray! Went to Walmart today (needed more sunscreen) and I found “Palmers Fade milk” that claims to even out skin tone/ dark spots on the body. It’s main ingredients are: Alpha Hydroxy, vitamin c and e, and SUNSCREEENNNN!! lol could you pleaaaseee review it. Thank you so much. Love you!!
very strange but i tried Ambi for post acne marks and it works great. but i tried it on areas of friction hyperpigmentation and it actually made it noticeable darker even after just 1 week!
I have this issue on my armpits. I stop shaving for a while and my armpits lighten but they still do get dark eventually...I would love advice for that as well.
Chelsy Lynn hey girl!!!! I had this problem too! I used a mixture of Indian clay and acv and it worked WONDERS for me! Also I took a pumice stone and LIGHTLY “dry brushed” my underarms. I did this with my knees/elbows and I LOVED IT. this is what worked for me :) it’s worth a shot!
Also, way more expensive, but I switched to laser hair removal. It made a huge difference. My pits aren't completely lightened but it's definitely in much better shape than when I waxed, shaved or let it grow freely.
Hello Dray Bae!!!!! You are the best!! This makes sense. I just gave birth 2 weeks ago and had gestational diabetes! I have a dark pregnancy mask on my neck, armpits, and inner thighs! I do see my dermatologists today. This helps so much!!!! Thank you for the tips!!!
I try everything, and nothing works. But I start IF and the dark go away in like 3 month’s completely, I don’t know how but, one day I was shaving and 😳🤯 white again 😍🥰
😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️ can you do a video on healthy makeup like Jane irdell also, ways to prep the skin for surgery to reduce scarring. Say for example someone knows there getting surgery they want to reduce scarring then after care!😀
Can you make a laser hair removal for people of colour!!? I’m so worried to go to get it done but I’ve herd such bad things as different lasers affect different people?!? Thanks!
I have done Brazilian laser hair removal and it is heaven!! I’m Mexican and have been darker down there all my life, so I can tell you it’s helped out for sure.
In what order do you use the Ambi Fade Cream, Differin and (Amlactin) AHA lotion, again? My understanding is to use the Differin and Ambi Fade Cream together at night and maybe the AHA lotion/cream the day after. Am I right?
had my Pcos since then i noticed that my inner thighs and down of my butt was getting darker.. i will try to use those Dr. Thank you so much.. GOdbless
*If you want to lighten your skin,* *lemon juice is a great natural option.* _It contains acids that lightly bleach the skin and exfoliate the top layer of darker cells on your face while being gentle enough for sensitive types too!_ To make sure it's not irritating though, mix 1 part pure lemon juice with one part water before applying so it doesn't sting as much when applied. Let this sit for 15 minutes then wash off using warm water afterwards - _just be careful if you have any open cuts or abrasions because citrus fruits can irritate them!_ _Hope it helps!_
Dr.Dre this video is very helpful because no physician would ever discuss this condition with me, much less offer a solution. It has been such an embarrassment and I have none of the medical conditions mention but this started early during late childhood or possibly my early teens I assume due to friction. I am so thankful for the tips that you have provided and will try them and hopefully get results. I guess I would know by now if I had PCOS? Anyway, if it works I guess I'm going to have to send your kid to college one day although that won't be needed there'd be so many scholarships coming his or her way!!👭❤ your kids, and even Tybee, would be brilliant just like you!😊
I have pcos and insulin resistance lol, diagnosed at 12, I'm 29 now... Once I got everything in order after a few years the dark around the back of my neck (only visible when you really looked), went away.
Dr Dray pls make a video for darken bikini zone. How to lighten it up? is bleaching ( laser or cream) effective? Recommendation treatment or cream I will be very thankful for your help 🤩
Can you do a video on fresh stretch marks? I’ve been working out and gradually shedding weight. I’ve been losing a pound or 2 a week so my skin can keep up with my weight loss. If that makes sense? Ok thank you! 🤩 you da best
I battle with PCOS and so i had dark thighs and underarms , i also had occasional acne. However using Papaya, mulberry and glutathione lotion has made a great difference.I have used it for almost a month and my inner thighs are lightened and my acne are cleared. I will suggest you try that.keep me updated
@@chalklover983 is called kstimes Papaya and mulberry Even tone cream. It contains papaya and mulberry extract, soluble collagen and vitamin C. Also if you can afford it, get their Tea tree oil acne cream and always apply that at night before bed. These are all hydroquine free, that is why i use it.
She has a video about knee and elbows . Its called "Fades " She recommends using Urea 40% and lactic acid 12% twice daily. Watch the video its really informative.
Dr. Dray, may you address any skepticism about the cancer causing hydroquinone? I’ve read that long term use can have a negative impact on your health and can cause endocrine disruption as well as a slew of other problems.
I use Papaya, mulberry and glutathione lotion for fading dark spot and lightening my inner thighs and underarm . This lotion is very effective .i have heard about kojic acid too.
really interesting that this is connected to pcos, I've suspected for years that I had this as I have all the symptoms except for infertility/irregular periods. It started at puberty, which you don't mention here, but that hormonal change seems to cause dark inner thighs for many women too.
Dove clear tone deodorant is what helped me!!! Try it !! It works . I used to have really dark armpits and that deodorant helped so much . Give it more than a month
Papaya, glutathione and mulberry lotion worked and is still working amazing for me. It has lightened my inner thighs and underarm. I use it as a body moisturizer. Kojic acid also work for some people. Hope you find something that works with your skin type.
That's a temporary rush. Here she talks about dark skin caused with time. Usually u will feel it get irritated , red... and with time if u don't do anything will become dark permanently .
I have same issue hyperpigmentation on my thighs and creases of my legs. I subscribe someone channel and she shared about dermal md intimate lightening product and I gave it to try and very happy because it works! Keeps the dark skin a lot lighter than any other skin bleach I have tried
I have never heard about this before, you're a never ending source of information and advice! Happy...what day is this?😳 Oh yeah Thursday 😊🍁 Stay safe and healthy everyone!
Thank you! I think a lot of women worry about it and maybe a bit self concious to even ask for help. Id like to ask if it would be okay to use those creams/lotions on the buttocks or even perianal area? Also is it possible that laser hairremoval of armpits causes one or both of the armpits to smell worse?
Happy Thursday dr Dray and all. Anybody else get a laugh that the commercial before her video was for the Tilbury cream she panned recently . Great topic and very timely with warm weather coming soon. Enjoy your day love to mom and Tybee miss them
1. Stop removing the hair
2. Avoid tight clothing. Wear loose and breathable fabrics.
3. Wear sunscreen if exposing the skin to daylight.
4. Use a barrier cream (diaper cream)

I try everything, and nothing works. But I start IF and the dark go away in like 3 month’s completely, I don’t know how but, one day I was shaving and 😳🤯 white again 😍🥰
What is IF
Cameo Rose intermittent fasting, or fasting. And I go low carb and almost no sugar. Is the best for your body
😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️ can you do a video on healthy makeup like Jane irdell also, ways to prep the skin for surgery to reduce scarring. Say for example someone knows there getting surgery they want to reduce scarring then after care!😀
Never knew this was a skin condition people deal with I’ve learned something new today! Nice topic Dr. Dray ⭐️ To you, your mom and Tybee 👉🏻❤️👌🏻
Are those products effective when the hyperpigmentation is there for years? If not what can be used (or treatment) to remove or fade?
Can you make a laser hair removal for people of colour!!? I’m so worried to go to get it done but I’ve herd such bad things as different lasers affect different people?!? Thanks!
THERE IS SAFE LASER HAIR REMOVAL FOR PEOPLE OF COLOUR !!! I HAVE DONE IT
Make sure that they use a 1064 laser (the 1064 NM YAG laser is one of the best from my research). 1064s are better for our darker skin!
I have done Brazilian laser hair removal and it is heaven!! I’m Mexican and have been darker down there all my life, so I can tell you it’s helped out for sure.
I get laser hair removal. I go to laser away. It's in a couple states. Its not cheap but it's worth it
What’s a good laser I can use at home? For dark skin tones...
Dr. Dray you really have it all😭😭😭 you’re so freaking gorgeous, smart, and have a great personality😭 not fair.....
i've been using FaceTheory skincare for a couple months and I love it ! would love to see a video on what you think about it :)
In what order do you use the Ambi Fade Cream, Differin and (Amlactin) AHA lotion, again? My understanding is to use the Differin and Ambi Fade Cream together at night and maybe the AHA lotion/cream the day after. Am I right?
had my Pcos since then i noticed that my inner thighs and down of my butt was getting darker.. i will try to use those Dr. Thank you so much.. GOdbless
I clicked as fast as i can
Thanks even before watching the whole thing
Love from India 🇮🇳
OMG, I know I’m late but I just recently discover you and free skin care and am so glad to see this! Yay! Happy camper here! Thanks a bunch Dr. Dray!
*If you want to lighten your skin,* *lemon juice is a great natural option.*
_It contains acids that lightly bleach the skin and exfoliate the top layer of darker cells on your face while being gentle enough for sensitive types too!_ To make sure it's not irritating though, mix 1 part pure lemon juice with one part water before applying so it doesn't sting as much when applied. Let this sit for 15 minutes then wash off using warm water afterwards - _just be careful if you have any open cuts or abrasions because citrus fruits can irritate them!_
_Hope it helps!_
Dr.Dre this video is very helpful because no physician would ever discuss this condition with me, much less offer a solution. It has been such an embarrassment and I have none of the medical conditions mention but this started early during late childhood or possibly my early teens I assume due to friction. I am so thankful for the tips that you have provided and will try them and hopefully get results. I guess I would know by now if I had PCOS? Anyway, if it works I guess I'm going to have to send your kid to college one day although that won't be needed there'd be so many scholarships coming his or her way!!👭❤ your kids, and even Tybee, would be brilliant just like you!😊
wow Dr.Dre! I had no idea!
@@agostinodublino1387 lmfao i was waiting 4 someone to say this
I love amlactin! It’s saved my skin
Pantyhose are a must. Especially if it’s an formal even that requires pantyhose and I’m 25 😂🤣
I think thats my problem pantyhose make me feel like a little kid or old lady at church but they were great for lessening leg rub
There are so many people who have lightend skin with baking soda/lemon juice. There is alot of videos here on YT🍋
I love you for saying type 2 diabetes and clarifying.
From a very happy and seen type 1 diabetic 🤍
I have pcos and insulin resistance lol, diagnosed at 12, I'm 29 now... Once I got everything in order after a few years the dark around the back of my neck (only visible when you really looked), went away.
Hey! I also have pcos. When you say " got everything in order " what did you do? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hello! I think I have hyperpigmentation on the outer corner of my eyes. What can I use to remove it?
Thanks :) your videos have been super helpful
Morning its happy Friday here in NZ
Have a great day everyone 😊
Dr. Dray., I enjoy your dermatological medical lectures
Dr Dray pls make a video for darken bikini zone. How to lighten it up? is bleaching ( laser or cream) effective? Recommendation treatment or cream
I will be very thankful for your help 🤩
Omggggg I was waiting for this video for years in going to be a baddie after this
Me too
A baddie yet pls ? And pls, what and what did you use, in what order? How frequently and for how long ? Thanks in advance
Can you do a video on fresh stretch marks? I’ve been working out and gradually shedding weight. I’ve been losing a pound or 2 a week so my skin can keep up with my weight loss. If that makes sense? Ok thank you! 🤩 you da best
Costco sells Amlactin.
Could this regimen work for hyperpigmentation left behind by acne on the back?
I would also like to know this
She recommended adapolene for acne scars on another video she uploaded
I battle with PCOS and so i had dark thighs and underarms , i also had occasional acne. However using Papaya, mulberry and glutathione lotion has made a great difference.I have used it for almost a month and my inner thighs are lightened and my acne are cleared. I will suggest you try that.keep me updated
Cynthia Goode which brand of lotion did you use?
@@chalklover983 is called kstimes Papaya and mulberry Even tone cream. It contains papaya and mulberry extract, soluble collagen and vitamin C. Also if you can afford it, get their Tea tree oil acne cream and always apply that at night before bed. These are all hydroquine free, that is why i use it.
I’ve been struggling with dark underarms, knees and elbows what can I do?
She has a video about knee and elbows . Its called "Fades "
She recommends using Urea 40% and lactic acid 12% twice daily.
Watch the video its really informative.
Are we layering at night the same as you would a face routine ? Where does the hydro come in? Before or after diaper cream?
I had no idea that it could be a medical issue glad I watched this
Wow
I’m 51 and this is the very first time I’ve ever heard of this condition.
Dr. Dray, may you address any skepticism about the cancer causing hydroquinone? I’ve read that long term use can have a negative impact on your health and can cause endocrine disruption as well as a slew of other problems.
Could you do a review on the kojic acid skin lighting soap?
I use Papaya, mulberry and glutathione lotion for fading dark spot and lightening my inner thighs and underarm . This lotion is very effective .i have heard about kojic acid too.
@@cynthiagoode2082 Could you please let us know where did you buy it? How much is the price? Thank you!
She showed Nineless Kojic acid serum (1%) in the multi-product video. I'm going to try it soon. Got it at Yesstyle.
I get rashes from sanitary pads :( every month and it’s really bad especially in the back :(
switch to menstrual cups!! 💛💛
@@trishabriggs3595 i wish but i cant I’m virgin
Try using The Honey Pot pads or period panties.
@@Mira-ij9ls I get the nice cotton pads. Pricier than the regular ones but I stock up when they have sales.
Dr dray why don’t you put more AD’s so you can make more money off RUclips you seriously deserve it!!!❤️💯💯💯
have an amazing Thursday all
thanks enjoy your day!
Please make a video on how to lighten dark underarms..I am from India so please also suggest a product available in India if any.
same thing
really interesting that this is connected to pcos, I've suspected for years that I had this as I have all the symptoms except for infertility/irregular periods. It started at puberty, which you don't mention here, but that hormonal change seems to cause dark inner thighs for many women too.
What about dark under arms please when nothing seems to work.
Dove clear tone deodorant is what helped me!!! Try it !! It works . I used to have really dark armpits and that deodorant helped so much . Give it more than a month
Papaya, glutathione and mulberry lotion worked and is still working amazing for me. It has lightened my inner thighs and underarm. I use it as a body moisturizer. Kojic acid also work for some people. Hope you find something that works with your skin type.
@@cynthiagoode2082 Which brand?
Scion Roll-on!!! 😍😍 been using for 3 days can see the difference already 😊 let me know if you want to get a hold of one 😍
You look beautiful. Love tour hair too! Thankyou for posting these videos! They help me a lot.
does friction between legs cause the skin to darken for overweight people?
Yes
That's a temporary rush. Here she talks about dark skin caused with time. Usually u will feel it get irritated , red... and with time if u don't do anything will become dark permanently .
Dr Dray all your videos are so informative plz make video on exfloiting gels they are good or not
"Do people even wear pant hose anymore?" lol no...I havent since I was 11! But i do love my bike shorts!
I do and it keeps my thighs from rubbing together I don't have dark thighs .
I love your tips so much!! you have inspired me to make my own RUclips channel, it is a bit bumpy, but getting there !
nice
Veronica Night well done
that is super cool
well done
Laser worked perfectly for me. I would suggest you give it a try.
And how much did that cost you ( compared to the products she talks about ) ?
Can you do a video on lighting the bikini area, please?
I think she did. Search for it on YT.
Happy Thursday Everybody!!
I have same issue hyperpigmentation on my thighs and creases of my legs. I subscribe someone channel and she shared about dermal md intimate lightening product and I gave it to try and very happy because it works! Keeps the dark skin a lot lighter than any other skin bleach I have tried
Link product plse
Video on hyperpigmented stretch marks?
Which is better: paula's choice aha 10% body lotion or amlactin rapid relief?
Can you please post a list of alternative products because I wasn’t able to find all the products you have mentioned
Dr Dray, can these products be used to lighten underarm area?
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 so needed this 🤣 Happy Thursday!! ☀️
I have never heard about this before, you're a never ending source of information and advice!
Happy...what day is this?😳 Oh yeah Thursday 😊🍁
Stay safe and healthy everyone!
Thank you! I think a lot of women worry about it and maybe a bit self concious to even ask for help. Id like to ask if it would be okay to use those creams/lotions on the buttocks or even perianal area? Also is it possible that laser hairremoval of armpits causes one or both of the armpits to smell worse?
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have pcos and I struggle with this problem.
Dr Dray, please discuss about grey hair in young women....can this be prevented or treat by medication?
How do you suggest cleaning the inner thighs? Antibacterial soap? Scrub?
Hi, scrubbing makes it worse. She mentioned that on her video for knees and elbows.
Happy Thursday dr Dray and all. Anybody else get a laugh that the commercial before her video was for the Tilbury cream she panned recently . Great topic and very timely with warm weather coming soon. Enjoy your day love to mom and Tybee miss them
You’re an angel Dr Dray 🌹
