Funbat and nixoderm actually lightens the skin. They are some steroids in them. Also they clear up the skin to prevent rashes. Put them away quickly. Moreover it took u months to get fair. It will take even longer to go back. Is like growing big and trying to loose weight. Hope u get the patience.


bt its been years now bt yet its still dsame results without any changes

Such an interesting skin story!
The truth is that I laughed in some places grin and almost wept for you in some places (broken plate applied to skin?) but all in all I can see that this is a serious matter and that you are very desperate.

So this is my advice for you.


Your skin is naturally black because of melanocytes. These are the cells that colour your skin and make you the colour that you are. These are also the cells you 'kill' when you start bleaching. Using all those gamut of creams has caused severe damage to your melanocytes and has affected your self esteem so much that you cover your body to prevent others from seeing it. Tragically, this behaviour of yours worsened your situation without your knowing because the Sun( and not artificial fire or burning your hand) would have been your saving grace.

The sun(any kind of sunlight but afternoon sun is better in this matter), is what will reactivate and multiply your damaged melanocytes. But because of the years you have stayed with this problem, it might take longer.

This is what you will do.

1. Stop ALL creams immediately. Stop everything.

2. Stop googling. Googling things does not make you a specialist on something , it just gives you a little knowledge. No matter how much you google you cam never become a dermatologist. Take it from me.

3. Your soap for the next one year will be dudu osun only. Dudu osun works in that it will help rejuvenate your melanocytes and take you back to your normal colour(this is why ladies that bleach hate it so much grin).

4. Your pomade/cream for the rest of your life will be Vaseline petroleum jelly only. This protects your skin from the hazards that bleaching would have exposed it to. It is also harmless to your body. Let me explain. The bleaching creams you have been using have not only affected your skin but have been absorbed by the skin and affected other organs as well especially your kidneys. Dont be afraid, the treatment for that is simply to stop the creams like you are going to do and take a good amount of water. Vaseline will put a stop to the damage as well as help your skin retain water again.

5. Finally the hard part. You need to expose your skin. Sunlight will reactivate your melanocytes and repair your skin. Covering it up with long sleeves is what has been delaying the darkening process. Unfortunately facial skin is more delicate than body skin so the face might take longer to heal but the rest of your body should return to normal in about 2years time. So you better work on getting your self esteem back. Realise that people only laugh for a moment then move on to other things. The more you expose your skin the quicker it will heal.




And for those people who bleach their skin, this serves as a lesson for you. Boy or girl, don't do it. It usually ends badly on the long run.

All the best op.

hi dear, sorry abt the mess u r in. it seems you are a very impatient person. that's y uv tried every local thing in the world.please work on ur mindset I think this thing is gradually getting into your mind. As someone advised, stop wearing long sleeved clothes and start working towards getting a healthy solution, no matter how disgusting you think you look your family won't run away from you. am really surprised how you sunk deeply into bleaching waters (especially at a young age)without members of your family noticing changes and trying to help you.sincerely your condition can be attributable to carelessness on the part of ur family.Its so sad that many nigerians see fair people as gud looking that's y bleaching cream sells very well in naija. Am naturally abit light but most of my childhood friends, classmates that were dark have gradually transformed into oyibos.Bleaching is simply penny wise pounds foolish. quote author=Sadbrother post=29458472]

You've gotten a lot of good advice here. I would say the most important thing is time and patience. Stop using so many products at the same time. Focus on a few key products like 5mins said, I also suggest dudu osun, vaseline and shea butter. Don't forget daily sun exposure.

Maybe instead of all of a sudden exposing your arms, try rolling up your sleeves a little at a time so people around you are aware of your skin discoloration. Don't forget to document your experiences in pictures, etc. Share your experience online so people know the dangers of skin bleaching. Good luck.

Vitiligo and bleached skin is not the same thing. In vitiligo the person has an absence of melanin from birth. Sadly, nothing much can be done about it. A person with vitiligo should not expose himself to direct sunlight especially afternoon sun as the melanin that protects your skin from the sun's rays are absent. This can lead to skin cancer. A tanning cream will be better with this condition.

At the risk of sounding haughty, I have already told you what to do and you are still running around looking for creams and soaps to rub. If I had told you to pay N50,000 for this information you would have appreciated it more. Stop using tetmosol and shea butter, it won't work and tetmosol might worsen your condition.

Re: Pls Hlp Me I Can't Take Off My Shirt Since 3 Yrs Because Of My Bleaching Skin by Nobody: 12:35pm On Jan 04, 2015
I just don't understand why this Op cannot exercise some patience. 5minsmadmess has taken his time to explain your situation and also profer a solution but you are not ready to take a step by step procedure. Haven't you learnt anything at all from your experience?. You just wanna use anything recommended without carrying your own research. BE PATIENT dude!! Urgh.

You didn't become white overnight, so why would you wanna become dark overnight. For your own good, you better stop all these so called recommended products and stick with 5minsmadness posts. All you need from that post is patience, sunlight, dudu osun and vaseline, which are all harmless products.

Goodluck!

Bros, pls don't get me wrong o. Am not looking for thanks. Am just saying that you should calm down. Like cytochrome said, you cant expect things to work overnight. Leave the sheabutter for now. I don't know the constituents of Ghana black soap but dudu osun is enough for you. You really have to be patient in this matter.

Also I have to join my voice along with others in warning you not to stand in hot sun deliberately because you want to get your skin black. Morning sun provides vitamin d which is good for skin nd other stuff in your body but the afternoon sun does stimulate melanocyte growth. That doesn't mean you should carry chair to the middle of the field and sit down under the hot sun for hours.
Simple exposure of the skim and going about your normal duties will be enough.

Be patient.

All the best .
