So this may be a little gross to some, but I'm concerned about pigmentation problems in my most intimate areas. Namely, the skin around my anus. I've googled the issue and it seems I'm not the only one with poop-stained skin around my anus, probably due to bad hygiene during a depression period of my life which lasted years. Anyway, hygiene has improved but my question relates to cosmetic dermatology: How can I make the skin appear more even and normal? My ideas are at-home chemical peels, some kind of cocoa butter or sugar scrub, perhaps just going to a tanning bed and focusing on this area. It's very embarassing and I would love some advice or hopefully some reassurance that the condition is more widespread and affects more people than I think... Is this normal?!
Thank you!
