  5. I'm noticing that the skin under my breasts and in the pubic area is getting darker, and I'm really worried if this could be something serious. I tried using aloe vera gel, but I'm not sure if it's helping. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on?

I'm noticing that the skin under my breasts and in the pubic area is getting darker, and I'm really worried if this could be something serious. I tried using aloe vera gel, but I'm not sure if it's helping. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on?

The skin darkening under your breast and pubic area could be due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance or hormonal imbalances. I recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to help lighten the affected areas. You can try using Melalite cream twice daily for 4-6 weeks. However, it is important to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis
