Anal bleaching

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Anal bleaching is the practice of bleaching the darker pigmentation of the skin of light-skinned people, around the anus. It is used for cosmetic purposes. A cream is used containing around 20% hydroquinone (a suspected carcinogen banned by several countries including France and the UK)[1][2][3][4][5] as an active ingredient.
