Skin Irritated With Bleach Posted: 09-18-07 17:53pm
Hi,
My mom went to some beauty parlor and they
treated her with bleach on her neck to
"make her skin whiter". Soon she
developed what seems like a rash in the
neck area, it's really white and it itches
all the time. I recommended a cream for
her (hydrocortisone) and she said it
helped stop the itching but her skin still
looks like it has a rash. Is there any
way to restore her skin, or get rid of the
rash permanently through other
creams/medicines, or should she see a
dermatologist?
Thank you.

I had no idea people still dared to bleach
skin these days, how Victorian!!
Anyway, I'd say if the pain is mostly
cared for, give it a while to heal. If it
doesn't after a week or so, then yes, go
to a dermatologist.

Thank you Eiri. Yes, I didn't know what
my mom was thinking, or maybe she just
didn't know they were treating her with
bleach, I don't know, but very unheard
of.
We've actually given it plenty of time to
heal on its own - 4+ months - so I'll
start looking for a dermatologist then.
