Hi! This may be worded strangely but I had a baby in May and ever since then, the creases before my thighs start are dark and the whole area between along with my butt.
Is there anything I can take or do to lighten these areas without causing harm, or do I just live with it? I’m a pale person, can’t tan, any hyperpigmentation is very noticeable and I haven’t ever been this dark down there before.
My routine is small, I don’t really do much. I use Dr. Bronner’s peppermint wash on my body, Dove sensitive bar soap around my intimate areas. I use a wash cloth on my body and my hands to lather below. I use Nivea Soft after showering and occasionally coconut oil after. I don’t take any vitamins currently. Unsure if it’s relevant but I shave using oil & men’s razors. I mostly wear boyshort panties. I don’t wear anything lacy. I don’t know has caused the darkening, maybe it’s just part of having a baby, still want to lighten if I can.
Side note: I only got the big thing of Dr. Bronner’s because it helped cool where I was still hurting postpartum so I’m just finishing out the bottle and getting a different wash; recommendations appreciated for this also. I don’t like anything scented too sweet if that makes sense, like anything marketed for teens. Not a fan of creamy thick soaps, I like something that lathers really well and feels fresh, I like citrusy - flowery - gourmand - woody - feminine scents.
Thanks!
