bleach uses for skin - #20158
I am really confused about these bleach uses for skin that I’ve been hearing about. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed some dark spots on my face, and they really started bothering me. I thought, maybe I could try something like bleach to lighten them up. But then, I came across some warnings online about using bleach for skin and it got me worried! Like, my friend told me her mom uses bleach for skin lightening, but isn’t that risky??? Anyway, I actually did a patch test with a diluted solution, and it felt okay initially but I started getting a little redness. Then I read about how bleach uses for skin can lead to burns or rashes if used wrong, which freaked me out. Shouldn’t there be safer alternatives? I mean, I don’t want to end up damaging my skin permanently. Are there other bleach uses for skin that are considered safe or more effective? Like, I'm trying to understand if there’s a right way to approach this without causing harm. Should I see a dermatologist before taking any serious steps? Would really appreciate any insights!
