However, at the moment, it appears to be more of a case of hyper pigmentation where these parts of your skin look much darker than the rest of your body. Hyper pigmentation usually happens in patches and is caused by the collection of the skins coloring agent - melanin in certain areas of the skin instead of spreading out and evenly distributing the color over the skin. To understand how the dark patches develop, one must understand how the skin works and protects itself. When exposed to intense heat of the sun, the harmful ultra violet rays that the sun emits have the potential to cause cell augmentation and even skin cancer. Melanocytes, which are cells that create the Melanin or pigmentation agent of the skin, create two hormones that, when blend together at different levels provide the skin with a different color. To protect the skin against the harmful rays of the sun, the melanin produced is darker in color and, as you would have noticed, is supplied to the areas of skin that are most exposed. If the melanin starts to accumulate in patches around the skin, it will cause these areas to look darker than the surrounding ones, much like in your case. To avoid this, you need to make sure that you always wear sunscreen when venturing outdoors and follow natural skin care routine to increase the protection of your skin.
To get rid of the dark colors, you could apply some lime juice to the dark patches regularly as lime is a natural bleaching agent that will tone down the darkness of the skin. Potato slices will work as effectively. Aloe vera gel is considered to be extremely effective when dealing with skin pigmentation. Try applying the gel over the affected areas by following the directions laid out by the manufacturer to see results. Applying cucumber juice to the patches should also show considerable improvement.
