Skin pigmentation queries

Try the following home remedies to lighten your pigmented skin on ears -  

• Lime juice is a natural bleaching agent. Rub a slice of lime juice over the pigmented skin on the ear. Leave it for about 30 minutes and then wash it off with cold water.
  
  
  
  
• Mix tomato juice with buttermilk in 1:2 ratios and apply it on the pigmented skin. Wash it after 20-30 minutes for best results.
  
• You can also mix lime juice with oatmeal and yoghurt. Apply this mixture on the pigmented skin. Leave it for 20 minutes and then wash it off with cold water.
  
• To prevent further pigmentation consume lots of vitamin C in the diet in the form of oranges, papaya, strawberries, green peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, dark green leafy vegetables, broccoli and pineapple. This will help to improve the skin texture.
  
• Avoid itching as far as possible as the skin on the ear is delicate. Consult a specialist (dermatologist) if the black patches or itchiness increases.
