~Was the exfoliating cream suited to your skin type?There's no specific rule that applies to getting rid of spots!What might work for someone might not necessarily work on your skin type,so your best option is seeing a Dermatologist!

~Maybe you'll find names of Cream/Lotion/Ways of getting rid of spots on this thread


How To Remove Black Spots On My Skin (Caused By Mosquito Bites)


https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-4259.0.html

thank, ill check them out but i rily need 2 see a dermatologist

chiogo:
Yeah, or a doctor in general. And if you don't have one, just go to a store(you mentioned earlier about not relying on CVS/Walgreen's products) but it won't hurt to try. I buy most of my body products there.

thanks 4 ur help, i would asap. its just getting bad.

chiogo:
Oh wow! I see it now, that's crazy. I never had those. you need to use something on it ASAP.

yes i know i should but dont know where 2 start from or what 2 do, i guess a dermatologist

ok i put it now again. it is too enlarged and not a pretty sight so i nid 2 remove it asap.

ezinne1212, pls take a look @ it too now on my profile b4 i remove it

ive removed it now

did u see it, im removing it now

Im trying 2 upload it as i just took them now so it would take a little while very soon

ok i would now in a minute

chiogo:
Hmm, that's weird. I use Nair too and there appears to be black spots in my pores but not that big of a deal. you probably used the hair remover the wrong way or the product was contaminated. I would know if it's the same as mine if you post a picture. either way, use one of those creams, you can find them at CVS and Walgreen's. Just inquire, you probably don't need a prescription.

ezinne1212:
You cud be having a reaction, since ur in the states, best to check online for a dermatologist near you or ask your doctor for a referral.

im thinking too it's a reaction, a bad one 4 dat matter. ive been using hair removals too, this just happened this period and i dont know why. i used to use mederma 4a small scar i had, but it just seemed hopeless thats y i dont really depend on creams from cvs and walgreens but i rily want this spots gone. i can show a pic 2 u both, because it is that bad but i dont if NL is ok?

yeah rily weird because ive been using stuffs since just dis period, i dont rilyknow wat happened but b4 i knew i, both legs r filled with dark black spots. im doubtful of those creams @ walgreens and cvs, like ive tried using mederma 4 a small scar i had but it seems hopeless. i just want d best bet and where do u want me 2 show u d pic, here on NL?

chiogo:
Well, it depends on where you stay. Are you in naija or. . . .?? I didn't actually see a dermatologist to get the cream I mentioned, my doctor just prescribed it for me.

How big are these spots? Most people get dark spots on the legs especially after shaving. I'm guessing the exfoliating scrub was for hair removal.

ezinne1212:
Please what kind of exfoliating scrub will do that? u sure say hydroquinine no dey?

Exactly. I used Nair Hair remover. Exfoliator with skin renewal micro beads. i'm presently in america. It has spoilt my legs big time  and im somewhat light skinned.  It has no hydroquinine. The spots r not necessarily big but all over my legs now form my knees 2 my ankles with discoloration, im tempted 2 take a pic 2 show it but im confused. i rily want 2 get rid of them.

chiogo:
Yeah, go see a dermatologist and they'd prescribe one of those topical creams like Metronidazole. They can be bought in drug stores but you need a prescription. I use one of those for something else though but I think they work for all kinda spots.

This would be another difficult task because i have never had or seen a dermatologist talk less of even knowing the good ones at a good cheap cost. It is really frustrating like where the hell did they come from all of a sudden, spoiling my legs.

I am somewhat lightskinned and all of a sudden, after trying an exfoliationg scrub on my legs, I have dark spots on both legs. I mean from my knees to my ankles with black discoloration. Pls people, how can i get rid of them or do I plan to see a dermatologist, it is not a pretty sight to behold and it happened so suddenly.

ooooooooh-aren't you a little hostile? LOL! Need I remind you, I am from a different cultural background and trust me when I say-THERE ARE DIFFERENCES. The only constant between Nigerian men and Akata men are what they have between their legs.

If I agree with your point, will you agree that you, as an 9ija woman and I, as an African American woman, think alike?

hostile ke? im only saying the fact. not being hostile here. i kno u hav a different cultural background but u talk like u r the only 1 dat has and is dating nigerian men even we nigerian girls dont talk as much as you do. ok which one is dating mistakes with nigerian men? dont u kno how u go on date with other men from different cultures or better still go on a date with a man?

this lady makes me sick. everytime nigerian man or american man,this and dat, r u d only one to date one? haba. wat do u mean dating mistakes with nigerian men, r they not men again? abeg

Cyberfreak:
Don't be too hard on yourself. You did not choose to be that way, you didnt make urself into what u are did you?
By the way, I think the fact that your mom hassles you because of this is sad, but she is probably just trying to turn you to a better person, hence her constantly pressuring you to change with the way she treats you. Does not necessarily mean she wants to make things difficult for you.
Overall, living life this way can be hard. Outgoing people tend to think they are way better than introverts and sometimes let them know what they think, hurting them in the process. But then again, there is the thing about everybody being different that they should take into consideration.

that's it. i feel hurt because this is just me and i dont want to feel left out or different from the rest.

I am a good girl though i know not perfect.

Yes i am willing but i need to understand why good things happen to bad people and bad things to good people. Why am i finding it hard to believe God is hearing me and will heal me?

Cyberfreak:
Sorry to bring up this fading thread, I just wanted to correct the wrong use of the word 'antisocial'.
The personality she described herself as having is not an antisocial one. Antisocial people have much worse characters. Antisocial can be used to describe psychopaths or sociopaths, people with antisocial personality tend to display a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of other people's rights. This behaviour, or antisocial behaviour is linked to adult criminal behaviour such as deliberate destruction of property, fire setting and frequent lying and stealing and other behaviours that trivialize the importance of the needs of other people in the society, and don't really have introvertedness as a central feature.
The type of person she described herself as is more of an 'avoidant type'. Features of people with an avoidant personality are: having relationship problems, being suspicious of others, sensitive, aloof/isolated, self-absorbed, self-critical, overly emotional/hypersensitive to rejection, anxious/tense,. Tendency to have few or no close friends, frequently feeling depressed. As a substitute, many take refuge in an inner world of fantasy and imagination.
Phew!
People confuse avoidant for antisocial a lot.
But don't snob them, those of you who are not similar to them. Relate with them the way you relate with others. And don't be giving conditions for being normal please! (70% out, 30% in). We don't all have one preference and our lives' experiences and histories are different. Finally because all this the prejudice and unrealistic standards set as a yardstick for normalcy don't need to be increased.
One luv.

you just hit the exact nail on d head. this is exactly how i feel

Generica:
Do you mean to say that your conscience still bothers you?

It does not because i have prayed for forgivenes but it's more like angry y me? like im losing faith

I am not proud to say i had pre marital sex. I decided to keep my virginity till marriage, trust me but it happened. I fought with him hard because of d guilt but afterwards it was just normal. i felt mayb God is punishing me and this is d consequences. i am not d only 1 to sin, other people sin but r happy y my case. i just want 2 go back to d way i used, reading my Bible too but the drive is too low.

Where is Generica, pls let's continue the discussion


@Pilgrim, i am trying to get past it. trying hard but it gets harder.

tope5000:
Men dont get heartbroken? U serious, lol.

I said "HARDLY" get heartbroken, i didn't say never or don't get heartbroken.


@Chukz4real, quarrelling with who? didn't u see his post? i'm even thinking is he ok, mental or mad? what was wrong in my post that he had to call my mother? mayb he was seeking 4 my attention.

im sad

Generica:
You called him your boyfriend. Before I answer that tell me is boyfriend/girlfriend affairs permitted by God?

it depends on what u mean. How do people get married? i know u r trying to head at the premarital sex case

Generica:
Nikky, oh dear Nikky!How come you allowed mere mortals to pull you away from God? Where you engaged to him? Because that's the only way to morally justify your being with him at the first instance.

Tell me something. Is God really with me? After my heartbreak,dis boyfriend dat broke me heart, is getting good deals, good job, money flowing, top people and you expect my drive to be high? That's y my drive is down.

Thanks peoples
