Possible Causes of Dark Skin around the Anal Region
Darkening of the anal region could be caused either by friction between the skin i.e. as you walk, or between the clothes you are wearing and the skin. The hygiene of the anal area also matters and improper attention to the anal area could lead to darkening. Some studies have also shown that excessive intake of coffee or soda leads to the darkening of the anal skin.
Safe and Natural Ways to Lighten Dark Anal Region
There are many ways to lighten a darkened anus, but not all of them are safe or/and natural. Use of chemicals or undergoing surgery to lighten the anus is not natural and may even not be safe. Additionally, the unnatural way is very expensive and embarrassing: no one wants to expose his/her private part to a specialist or even share with them the idea of whitening the area. The safest and most natural ways to bleach the anus, therefore, should involve natural ingredients and should be easy to perform alone at home.
Simple, Safe, and Natural Anal Bleaching Methods That Are Home-based
The Exfoliation Methods
There are a variety of ways to bleach the anus through the removal of dead skin cells. A mixture of coconut oil and lemon juice applied on the anal region for about 10-20 min does magic! Also, try the mixture of lemon juice and Almond oil in the same way. Give yourself gentle scrub using apricot to bleach the anus. A mixture of oatmeal and yogurt as well as that of yogurt and lime juice applied for 10-20 min followed by a gentle scrub on the skin using Luke-warm water is also a safe and natural way to bleach the anus.
Use of Safe Natural Acids
Examples of the sources of these natural acids include lemons and oranges amongst others. The acid in these fruits is a good and effective agent for bleaching the anus. The fruits also contain vitamin C which has been used for years for skin whitening purpose, and the dark anal skin is no exception. What you need to do is choose any of the fruits, squeeze the juice and apply it on the anal region. Leave it on your anus for about 10-20 minutes and then wash it off with water. You can also rub half of the fruit on the anal area instead of squeezing out the juice. Make sure to do this frequently: may be 3-4 days per week. The idea to change does not occur over-night.
Other Safe and Natural Agents for Bleaching the Anus
Tomatoes and papayas have also been found to be very effective safe and natural anal bleaching agents. You can apply either their juices or rub the halves on the anal areas, then wash the juice off after 10-20 minutes.
If you want to use a bleaching cream, make sure that you get it only from the official company or authorized distributors.
