Neck turning black
Hello Doctor
From past couple of years my neck is turning black...I'm trying some home remedies to maintain it but it's not working. And adding to this, I'm getting small hair near chin area. I tried to remove those with razor, but they grew back with thickness. I stopped removing them, but still hair is there it's not going. Could you please help me with some creams for both these issues.
Thank you
