    I cut out carbs and see some improvements in my neck but I don’t believe it will ever be 100% cleared up. Even when I did sports in high school my neck was still very dark. So believe it when she says prevention is more helpful than treatment. I use Kojic soap, Alpha arbutin and CeraVe cream for rough and bumpy skin. My neck feels a lot smoother but overall I feel better with myself because I know I’ve at least been eating healthy! Love yourself always ❤

    Does anyone else notice how black/melanated skin conditions always take a back seat in the medical science world? Like all the conditions we suffer from don’t have viable cures or solutions. Like keloids. Like how lasers are optimized for every skin type but our’s. Like how the FDA doesn’t makes brands test sunscreen on black people. Like how the Fitzpatrick scale is skewed in favor of paler people.

Even now it's my biggest insecurity.

Knowing tretinoin is chemical peeling, and would burn my skin especially as it peels.

People should normalise it since many people have it and sometimes losing weight doesn’t help it’s a very tough issue that a lot of people have. You shouldn’t give up no matter what and not judge your body it’ll make you more miserable that’s why I don’t focus on my skin issue anymore because I know for a fact it’s not going away no matter how hard I try.

Not just pizza for the day, fast food, etc. once I changed what I ate my inner thighs lightened all the way up. My armpits got lighter as well. I used to have insulin deposit under my arm…I haven’t gotten it back in over a decade. Also Strength training helps as well. Products can lighten the dark areas but it will not go away unless you make a change.

I learned that when I was eating pasta on the daily my body didn’t have enough time to break it down and due to my resistance my insulin wasn’t helping with sugar spikes. So giving my body a break during the week from high carbs and sugars helped a lot. Also, I increased my protein intake, made it relative to the carbs I was consuming. I make sure I have protein with every meal. Sometimes a lot of us will just eat a bowl of spaghetti or cereal for dinner. “We” can’t do that all the time. Another important thing…stay away from high fructose corn syrup and highly processed foods. If you can’t pronounce the ingredients stay away. I shop for food alternatives. Since I love pasta I went for Banza instead…it has more protein in it. Instead of Doritos I went for this seasoned Florida old fashioned brand of tortilla chips. Instead of Yoplait I went for ratio protein yogurt. Instead of honey I use Agave. Instead of eggo waffles I eat Vans waffles, they also make ones with extra protein in them as well. Just some examples.

    I found what actually cleared my armpits was using an aluminum free antiperspirant etc. Natural. Over the years has remained eventoned because of this.

    I only have darkening underarms and inner thighs where skin rubs against each other. I'm thin but i don't have thigh gap so my inner thighs always dark, i use AHA every week and vit c, and other brightening serum. I don't have diabetes but i noticed my mom is the same. Would laser help remove it?

    Hi, Dr. Jenny hope you will see my comment, so the thing is I bought all the 3 ( Cerave diabetic dry skin, Amlactin Ultra smoothing, and tretinoin 0.1%, my question Is it okay to use the 3? like 3x or 2x weekly? also can you please do a tutorial on how to use it? if not then just the two? Cerave and tretinoin? or ultra smoothing and tretinoin?

    I had darker skin in on my neck since I was a pre-teen, I had a bad weight problem. I lost weight and kept active and it went away. After getting pregnant a second time, I gain a lot of weight and am less active and my neck, pits, and inner thigh are getting darker. Again I'm trying to lose weight and the neck is clearing up. Is it my excess weight making it happen?
