What Is Anal Bleaching, and How Does That Work?

If you’ve ever taken a mirror to look down there, you may notice that the skin around your anus is, well, dark. Some people opt to get a cosmetic procedure that lightens this pigmentation, which is called anal bleaching, Fouad Georges Kaado Moawad, MD, who offers this treatment in his Virginia Beach medspa, tells Health. “The goal is to achieve an even skin tone similar to the rest of the body,” he says.

What started as a treatment sought out by adult entertainers has gone mainstream. Zuri A. Murrell, MD, is a colorectal and general surgeon in Beverly Hills who performs anal rejuvenation procedures. He has treated 400 to 500 patients seeking anal bleaching. During procedures to treat hemorrhoids and anal skin tags, “patients would jokingly ask ‘can you make it look nice?’” he tells Health.

“Most of the patients coming to me for anal rejuvenation procedures are recently divorced middle-aged women who just started dating again,” says Dr. Murrell.

Here’s the thing, it’s totally normal for the skin around your anus to look darker. “This can be due to genetics, everyday friction, sweat, diet, irritation, hormonal changes, among other reasons,” says Dr. Kaado. And don’t forget that your poop is, well, brown, and stool pigments can change the coloring of this area overtime, adds Dr. Murrell.

How does it work?
Despite what the name implies, there’s no Clorox being rubbed on your anus, says Dr. Kaado. Actual bleach can cause skin burns, so that’s out. More commonly, the lightening or brightening agent is hydroquinone or kojic acid, though some places may also use other topicals, like azelaic acid or niacinamide, he says.


Dr. Murrell’s lightening ingredient of choice is hydroquinone (HQ) because he’s found that it’s the most effective, painless, and safe. HQ helps brighten the area because it inhibits the enzyme that produces melanin, the natural pigment in skin. You can find HQ in skin creams over-the-counter. HQ might be available in 2% strength OTC, but Dr. Murrell uses a higher strength in-office. He says that 8 to 10% is safe—any higher can cause burning.

In Dr. Murrell’s office, he applies the HQ cream to the perianal skin and has the patient leave it on for 10 hours. They return for a follow-up visit one week later, where he looks at the skin to make sure that there’s no irritation or reaction. Patients then go home with the HQ cream and apply it themselves twice daily. They’ll return for another visit a month later to see if the tone is right.

Some places may also offer other types of treatments, like cryosurgery (liquid nitrogen is used to rid pigmentation), chemical peels (these exfoliate dark areas), or lasers (to break down melanin in the skin, which the body then gets rid of), says Dr. Kaado.

The cost of anal bleaching varies depending on the number of follow-up visits you need, but expect about $350 to $450, says Dr. Kaado. If you’re opting for laser treatments, those each run $300 to $400, he adds.

Do results last forever?
They don’t. “Anal bleaching is a semi-permanent treatment,” says Dr. Kaado. While bleaching reverses the process temporarily, melanin in the skin eventually will build up, and the skin around the anus will darken again.

Results aren’t immediate either, so it’s best to guard your expectations. Dr. Kaado says that if you’re using topical products, you can expect full results in three to four months, and the brightening effect can last for six months. Chemical peels or laser treatments require a few sessions, though you’ll see lightening after the first, and cryosurgery results stick around for a few months, as well, he says.

Can you do it at home?
Good news DIYers: you can anal bleach at home. If you’re interested in going this route, Dr. Murrell recommends buying a hydroquinone cream and applying daily. Because the concentration is much lower—usually 2%--it’ll take about six to eight months to reach the level of lightening you want.

Though, beware of buying bleaching products from overseas. “These are not well regulated, you don’t know what chemical ingredients [they contain], and if they are approved to be used in the U.S.,” says Dr. Kaado.

Is anal bleaching dangerous?
Under a skilled provider who knows how to look for and treat any reactions, anal bleaching is safe. However, intimate areas are delicate. Before treatment, the area should be clean and shaved with no cuts, and products need to be applied evenly, Dr. Kaado cautions. More severe side effects include scarring, burning, or permanent discoloration. If you have hemorrhoids, address those before a treatment.

You should also avoid sex for two to five days after anal bleaching and stay out of the bath or hot tub for 72 hours. Dr. Kaado notes that heat and friction can cause hyperpigmentation after anal bleaching, so you should rethink habits like hot yoga, running, and wearing thongs.

In medical terms, “anal bleaching” is the treatment that lightens the skin around the anus. This medical procedure is done for cosmetic purposes, to whiten the color of the skin around the anal region.

The process can be performed in a salon or office by a medical professional or with topical creams that can be applied at home.

It’s pretty self-explanatory.

Anal bleaching is a beauty trend in which both men and women “bleach” the skin around their anus to create a lighter and more even skin tone.

Before you run off totally freaked out, it’s not as scary as it sounds.

Some anal bleaching treatments don’t even use bleach. For example, Kojic acid is used in many anus lightening products and is part of the natural rice fermentation process.

Using this anal whitening solution, which is also employed in both food and cosmetic products, is a natural way to change the color of your skin and get the job done for you.

Most people use topical creams because of the privacy that you get as well as the cheap pricecompared to cosmetic salon treatments.

Skin whitening and lightening treatments are often found in spas and salons, along with laser procedures. If you don’t have the cash to spend for a trip to the professionals, then home creams are your best bet to get the perfect booty. The results you get will vary depending on your skin color and the sensitivity of your skin.

People with darker skin may need to undergo several anal bleaching treatments to reach their desired skin tone.

Bum bleaching procedures have exploded in the past few years, as words like “manscaping” have become more mainstream. Both men and women are paying WAY more attention to their intimate areas.

With all the ass whitening going on in porn – many people are concerned with how they look “down there” during sex.

The 3 Step Process for Bleaching your Anus Safely:

1. Prepare the Area to be Lightened
First of all, you need to clean and dry the rectal area. At this stage, a loofah or an exfoliating scrub will help speed up the process by making sure any excess skin or matter is removed. When exfoliating the anus, BE GENTLE - you cannot apply ass bleaching creams to any broken skin.
2. Applying the Cream
To effectively bleach the butt, apply the cream externally and rub in until it’s absorbed. Rub in a gentle, circular motion and make sure everything is rubbed in thoroughly.
3. Know When to Stop Using the Product
As we mentioned earlier, creams formulated with natural ingredients are safe and highly recommended by dermatologists across the world - But - if you experience any side effect or if your skin is inflamed in the anal area, it is advised to discontinue its use. Once you reach your desired skin tone, that’s also when you should stop using the cream (to avoid making the skin even lighter).

Fuck that. I'd rather go to Glasgow.

I've never heard anything good about India nor shall I find out.

In a few months I might go to Hong Kong. Maybe

For work, or just because you fancy it?

Whether you were joking or not, Glasgow is a top night out. Only been there for client/supplier/colleague piss ups but it's awesome.
