Is it safe to use maderma scar lightening gel to lighten the dark skin around the anus? i have so much left over and don't have any scars to put it on
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: It may be ok but not sure what your goal is. This will get dark again. There are places that would do that blanching and probably last longer. Is this something that just happened or all your life. Let me know. Thanks
