Has Anyone Had Any Luck Lightening Dark Skin Discolorations As A Result Of Their PCOS? Thanks!

I've had dark underarms for as long as I can remember, but as a teen, it's been really weighing me down for the past few years. No one else I know has this issue and I feel really alone dealing with this problem. My parents don't understand that even though it's just a cosmetic problem, it really affect my self-esteem.

Coconut oil and lemon for inner thighs! The dark patches are related to insulin sensitivity.

I don’t have any personal experience, but I had a friend use the Apple cider vinegar and baking soda mix and it did help but not drastically.
