lemon for pigmentation - #15553

Nikhil

I am really confused about this whole lemon for pigmentation thing. Like, I’ve been struggling with some dark spots on my face for ages now, and my friend told me that using lemon could help lighten them up. But, honestly, I’ve been hesitant because it sounds kinda like one of those home remedies that might not work. I read a bit about how lemon for pigmentation can be effective because of its natural acidity and vitamin C, but then I saw other stuff saying it can actually cause more irritation, which worries me. Few weeks ago, I tried dabbing some lemon juice on a spot and wow, it got really red and sensitive afterward. Should I have diluted the lemon juice or something? How often is it safe to use lemon for pigmentation? Also, are there any particular types of pigmentation that this actually works on? I feel like I get mixed signals about using lemon for pigmentation, like some people swear by it and others say it’s a big no. Would really appreciate any advice from you guys who know what you're doing!
