'''Anal bleaching''' is the process of lightening the color of the skin around the anus. It is done for cosmetic purposes, to make the anus more uniform with the surrounding area.

==Procedure==
Some treatments are applied in the office by a medical technician, while others are given as a prescription cream or ointment to be applied to the relevant area. {{Citation needed|date=April 2010}}

Skin bleaching cream is also available over the counter. [[Hydroquinone]] creams can be used to minimize spots that occur due to sun exposure, age, and birth control pills.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} For this reason they are often coupled with sunscreens. However, hydroquinone is a suspected [[carcinogen]] and banned by several countries.<ref>{{Cite web

==Use==
Anal bleaching has been used by adult film stars to provide a less pigmented (lighter) appearance. As the popularity of [[bikini waxing]] grew (especially the ultra-revealing [[Brazilian waxing|Brazilian]]), a market developed to alter darker skin on the anus and the surrounding area for aesthetic purposes.
