I don't know how and where am going to start from, but am going to put it in a way that you will understand.

It all started about 4years and 10 months ago, my natural colour is chocolate, so there is this cream i bought, i never knew it was a bleaching cream, i normally rub it only at night before going to bed, i did't know that it was making my skin lighter, although my sister pointed that to me, but i just ignored as if nothing because it cleared all my pimples and makes my body very smooth, which makes me looks more handsome than i am before.
So i still continued using it till i became very fair, very very fair i mean, then i stopped using it because i was a very shy type, i could not go out anymore because i was very fair and was thinking what others will say.
After i stopped using it, one month, two, three, four, five months past and finally 6months, but my skin is still very very fair, still the same as it is till the day i stopped using it, so i searched on google that there must be a way to make my skin to go to my original chocolate colour, then i saw a pomade named total black online that it can make the skin darker, then i ordered it but it did't work, i bought so many creams to reverse it but none of them work, i even go as far as buying 6 shoe polish, when ever i want to sleep i use cotton wool to applying it all over my body, but still it did not work i became frustrated because i could no longer walk in the day because of my very fair skin, i always think what others will reason about me, that i was dark before and suddenly how did i became very fair, then 3years past but its still the same, then i developed a plan (the sun) every single day i will bring lots of cloths out, and when the sun its out i will sit down and started pretending i was washing but in reality i need the sun to make my skin dark, my mother will complain and complain but she din't understand why, i did it for about 7months but the sun din't helped me, then i google searched of something that will make my skin more sensitive to the sun, so that i will sunburn and the next skin will be more darker than the normal one, and i saw many of them, and the most effective of them all is grinded psorolen seeds mixed with ginger, lime juice, and babchi seeds, then i ordered the psoralen and babchi seeds online from india, because its not in nigeria then, the day it arrived the next day i grounded the seeds and mixed them with lime and ginger juice and applied it on my whole body and sat on the sun at our backyard pretending i was washing clothes with my shirt off, only my boxer on. The sun was very very very hot that day, i sat on the sun from about 10:11am - 3:59pm i just say there pretending i was washing so that no one will suspect that i was up to something, after that day the next day my skin was very reddish and i mean veryyy reddish, and in 3days time some parts of my skin have big big dark patches all over, they are far more darker than my original chocolate colour, its about a week now and its still there, i have applied so many things to it but its still very dark, please help me my skin its burning am so afraid, and its getting worse every day.

Hmm,avoid direct sunlight.Again FTC.

I remember reading this awful story a year or so ago. Weren't you adviced at the health section to immediately stop using these creams and go see a qualified dermatologist?

Stop applying stuffs on your skin. Just bath, dry your body, and move on with your life.

Aside non-irritating deodorants (which isn't even necessary unless you smell bad), just bath regularly and continue with your life. Its an experience gone wrong, at this stage, I won't take any recommendations from anyone if I were you.

Other cream-addicts should learn from you.

Ur upstairs must have been under the weather! Didn't u read on the internet that sun exposure makes the skin susceptible to damage if not cancer? You are on your own! You took off several layers of your skin and still deliberately went under the sun without protection! Jeez! You are on your own! Enjoy! If not for the fear of the mod, I know what I really wanna say to you. Enjoy!

Picture(s) please

This guy wants to damage his skin, STOP using anything for now and stay off the sun. Go and use this nuts seed oil, made from Palm fruit. It will calm your skin and with time take it back to your original complexion. Use dudu osun soap as well. Just stay off the sun, I can imagine how your skin looks like now, so uneven and discoloured.

If you have money to import ingredients from Indian, better be ready to export yourself to italy when skin cancer come

You this man
Are you still on this matter?
What happened to the dermatologist you were advised to see
I hope you don't invite skin cancer
Stop all this nonsense and go and see a dermatologist pronto

Please and please just stay of the sun. Do you want the radiation from the sun to damage your skin?

@op, chai!!! E be like say ur moniker dey follow u o. Virtually all ur post are negative representations about u, it shows u av self esteem issues. Anyway about d issue at hand, u would av saved urself a lot had u listened to ur sister when she pointed the content of the cream to you. For me I will advise u stop all this sun issues, use Shea butter as ur body cream and take healthy foods and fruit. U will be back to ur original colour. Stop all this creams, u dnt know what chemical composition they av. By the way I hope u were not thinking u would look better if u were fairer and then u saw something far from ur expectation?

What am i even saying self

You're such a restless fellow.

[quote author=Sadbrother post=46104024]

One wonders whether you weren't seeing yourself in the mirror to notice your colour change..
Especially when somebody pointed it out to you.
Chocolate is a very good skin colour.

Your skin has been under continuous assault that it didn't the chance to heal.
The skin surface gets pushed out/renewed over time.

What you need to do is to stop all those aggressive skin treatments.
Go about your normal activities.
If you must apply anything on the skin due, maybe, to dryness, use something that is bland/neutral.
Try baby products - soap, lotion, oils.

Go to a skin care clinic and run a skin test.

You don buy market

When you had chocolate skin color, you ain't satisfied, you preferred to be yellow. You became yellow, you ain't satisfied, you want to be dark, now you're dark, yet, you ain't still satisfied, what! do you want to be green ni.



Abeg, oga, I will not patch-patch words with you, you don spoil your skin. Run to a dermatologist now.



A word is enough for the wise.

I advice you get an asantee papaya & honey soap

Come you be snake?

[size=17pt]Stop taking Codeine[/size]

Don't bother myself to read stories like this. They end up being IPOB perpetuated write-ups.

Stop using those creams ASAP just buy a normal body lotion and have patient your skin will surely return to its normal color but wait your sister told you but you insisted in using the cream... Smh

OK

OP the human body was designed to heal itself. Since you noticed bleaching? You should stopped immediately and with time it will get dark naturally but you continued. Very sorry to hear about what you going through right now but hey! Visit a qualified doctor

How about u stop the skin obsession and focus your energy on something productive

You are a guy darn it!

In summary, you color was dark, you wanted to be fair, you then became fair but too fair and so you wanted to be dark again. Because of free internet in your house you started googling for solution. The online solutions didn't work, you bought shoe polish but it also fell your hands. So you started washing cloths in the sun. Your skin is now burning and becoming dark.
I think I have tried.

Bleaching gone wrong while buying creams i take my time to read its content, and once i sight whitening i don't buy.

What's a man doing with bleaching creams.

Trouble dey sleep, nyanga go wake am.
Well....from your post, I noticed you all usually not busy.

you mean you used six shoe polish to polish yourself...... my brother you need deliverance.

Abuse of everything...from online shopping to skin care products.Sometimes I wonder why people bleach,I have seen pretty fair girls that prefer dark guys and also fair guys that prefer dark girls.Just be you and whoever isn't comfortable with your being you can jump into a well by Jupiter's cock.

Op pictures would have made this post more interesting and health experts can visually assess your skin and profer relevant remedies.

But your sister warned you, mchw. Next please
