I did hanging for about 5 months, because of pain I had a 3 weeks break in Jan. Returning to the the higher weights again the pain got back again, some due to old bruising.
I also did 2,5 months hanging with BIB last summer, but that didn`t give me any discoloration. Sometimes it gave some pain, maybe some bruising, but doubt it.
After I have used retin-a for an hour or more, the discolored area is almost the same as the area not affected. After some hours break from the cream, the discolored area turns more light brown/red. If I have used ACV (which I`m trying without now), the treated area turns quite dry too.
Despite the discolorisation I have now, relatively I`m quite pleased with it. But, I`d like to have more improvement. The retin-a doesn`t seem to give so much peelings anymore. Is that the main functioning from it?
I can see some unclear irregular blue area left from the bruising, but is a big improvement from before.
I also think that Apple Cider may work more like a bleaching, it could be peeling too.
I will try to use retin-a as a first layer, and put DMSO over the whole area (not just the bruising). It is supposed to penetrate through the skin, so maybe it can bring the retin-a more easylie in it. I`m not sure if DMSO makes more peeling.
There could have been more clarity about certain principles taking place for returning discolored area to more normal color.
Reading my experience; is there any actions I`m missing to make better effect for me? Or do I have to be more patient?
