Ravali asks:
Hello everyone!
I started waxing my legs at the age of 15. From then on, I started getting dark spots on my legs. I am attaching a picture to give you all a better idea about how the spots look on my legs. I feel really embarrassed to expose my legs due to these spots as there are too many of them. I discontinued waxing and switched to epilation now. I want you all to suggest any treatment/cream/remedy to get rid of these scars as soon as possible. Is there any quick way of getting them cleared as I do not have much time to follow any home remedies.
Thanks in advance 🙂

Dear Ravali, Dont worry, with little efforts u will achieve gorgeous legs just be patient. Some of tips from my experience:
1. Applying Aloe Vera gel will soothe the skin and clear spots too.
2. Sandalwood oil is also famous for clearing spots and blemishes but be careful with the quantity and dont directly apply it. just add 10-15 drops of sandalwood essential oil in your lotion/ creme u regularly applies to ur legs.
3. Traditional Mix of Lemon, Rose Water and Glycerin. Apply and leave it overnight to work.
4. Use Gram flour ubtan.
5. Try to apply any fruit/ veg as much as possible. Potato especially.
Hope this helps 🙂
to get rid of spots you can opt for any cream that has 2% hydroquinon. but long term use of this can be harmful. hydroquinone was banned for sometime. but 2% of it is a safe dose. it works but always consult a doctor before opting for it.:) I had used it on advice of doc and it worked well on my scars.
