I’ve been bleaching (with sally hansen product) parts of my face for over fifteen years and never had a problem with it UNTIL over a year ago. I used a different bleach (nair) on my upper lip area (as I always did) and my skin got irritated and now looks a bit discolored (yellowish). I saw a dermatologist about it and they told me the skin pigmetation would repair itself over time. Make up helps even my skin tone out so I don’t think its that bad. I would recommend that you follow the instructions carefully and test an area of your face to see how your skin responds to it (especially if your switching products). A question for everyone else, I’ve stopped bleaching this area and now use hair removal creams (& tweezing at times). Do you think I should get this area cleared with electrolysis? I will ge getting electrolysis on my chin area (next month after my Dr. appt). I’m just worried that if I do my skin pigmentation will get worse. This is a question I will be asking the electrolysis on my first appointment to see what she recommends.
