Armpit Pigmentation
I have dark patches in my underarms. My doc first advised Kojic acid cream daily and Glycolic acid cream twice a week. I got no result after 1 month. She then prescribed Tretinoin 0.05% and blood for FBS, HbA1C. I am pre diabetic. After 7 days there was no such visible result. What should I do? Is Laser or radio frequency only helpful or is there any other medicine? I don't prefer homio or ayush.
