The skin around the pubic area is very sensitive and is prone to hyperpigmentation so it tends to go darker than the rest of the body.
However, a lot of factors contribute to making it worse. Wearing tight underwear to friction between the thighs, wearing polyester underwear (cotton underwears are preferable) are some of the factors that cause the skin around the pubic area to go dark.
Other causes include shaving often which can cause in-grown hair, wearing clothes/trousers that are too tight and so on.
There are different home remedies to tackle dark areas around the pubic region but these two work perfectly and are natural.
1. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are great for lightening the skin. They are packed with antioxidant which helps protects the skin against sun damage while also maintaining the skin colour.
Directions:
– Get a fresh tomato and slice into thin slices.
– Rub the tomato slice against the dark areas around the pubic region.
– Leave the juice from the tomato on for around 15-20 minutes.

Use this daily till you get the desired result.
