I Have Trichomycosis Axillaris. Will Benzoyl Peroxide Bleach My Pubic Hair?

Question by .: I have trichomycosis axillaris. Will benzoyl peroxide bleach my pubic hair?
Hello,

For the past couple months, I noticed some milky yellow substances growing around the side of my testicles that are attached to each INDIVIDUAL hair. It only occurs around the sides. It also has a somewhat potent smell.

Reading in forums, I found out it’s common and called “trichomycosis axillaris”. And one of the “treatments” for it is benzoyl peroxide. Do I need to shave before applying? I do not want to shave, but at the same time do not want my pubic hair bleached! Will benzoyl peroxide bleach my pubic hair?

Please help, this is a very aggravating problem. Thanks in advance.

Maybe if it was very high strenght and used for a really long time. Lesser strenght wouldn’t cause bleaching and would still be effective.
