Darkening of skin
Skin darkening on feet due to constant friction as I sit in padmasana way on the floor a lot of the time. Is there any cream for it? No darkening of skin anywhere else. Just on the place that constantly touches the floor. Also I am currently breastfeeding my 1 year old. Thank you in advance.
