I have dark skin, and skin tags in my under arms, but I am a fair skinned person, any ideas how to lighten it?

They have been like this as long as i remember (post puberty) I am always conscious of them if I wear a strappy top, because I think they look dirty!

The reading I have done regarding blood sugar imbalances indicated that skin tags are just one place your body stores excess fluid and "fuel". This happens if you have overproduction of insulin resulting in low blood sugar. Check out www.hufa.org for more info on how high insulin causes low blood sugar.





The discoloration may be due to some other thing. I think tinea versicolor can be caused by a candida overgrowth. Candida likes bodies that are blood sugar imbalanced. There is some info about candida (yeast) at www.hufa.org, too.





Please feel free to e-mail me if you have questions.

Reply:thats normal all these celebritys photos of their arm pits,the imperfection are edited out or sometimes there not depends on what the media want to make out of them
Reply:See a dermatologists about the skin tags; I wouldn't suggest removing them on your own.





We are all our own worst critic; I'm sure the skin isn't as bad as you may think. I find using Nair instead of shaving helps with the darkness.

Reply:Research a syndrome called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Skin tags and darkening of the skin are two symptoms of it.





As to how to get rid of them, go see a dermatologist. Anything that they prescribe would be stronger than stuff over the counter and more controlled.
Reply:Go to a doctor and get them removed. Don't try cutting one off yourself.They bleed forever. I tried that once.The dark skin , try a skin lightner, you find it in the cosmetic section. night creams ,wrinkle creams, and stuff like that.
