Skin Bleaching

[britjojo]

This is a procedure that has caused some controversy at various times, because of the people who have used it to extremes and because of the risks involved. And the risks really are high, given what some of the products contain (mercury being the prime risk).

So have you ever thought about having it done? And did you consider a large area or a small, problem spot?

I've never considered it, but I don't really need it.

I think that as long as people know the risks, it's their choice to get it done. If you had an unsightly patch of colour, or, were a coloured person who had that disease where you have lots of unpigmented patches, you may want to do something to even up your skin tone.

As long as it's a decision you've thought about, and you are well informed - it's your body, you can do what you like.

Any criticism in my opinion should be levelled towards companies offering such services without providing all the facts first.
