Darkening in areas like the neck, armpits and inner thighs can be due to insulin resistance, friction, hormonal changes or toxin buildup
Start drinking, warm water daily
Avoid sugar and oily food
And eat more fruits and greens to support detox
Apply fresh, aloe vera juice, or a mix of lemon juice and honey to the dark area for about 15 minutes daily, then rinse off
You can also gently massage with coconut oil with a pinch of turmeric at night
Avoid Harsh soaps and wear loose cotton clothes
Apply potato juice with rice flour + lemon juice pinch of baking soda
Do not rub forcefully, apply gently massage and wash after 10 minutes

I will advice -Identifying Root Cause-
Check your blood sugar & insulin — even if you're not diabetic, prediabetes can cause this.
Review any long-term medicines, including those for high blood pressure, that may have skin effects.
Avoid tight clothes, harsh deodorants, or talcum powder in these areas.
Step 2: Daily Skin Lightening + Soothing Routine
Morning Skin Ritual (After Bath)
1. Gentle exfoliation 3x/week using:
Ubtan: Besan (gram flour) + turmeric + milk + a pinch of baking soda.
2. Rinse and pat dry — don’t scrub hard
3. Apply Aloe Vera Gel + Licorice extract (or pure aloe + 1 drop Kumkumadi tailam)
Night Treatment (Before Sleep)

1 tsp Kasturi turmeric (non-staining kind)
1 tsp sandalwood powder
