It can help to some extent
But be very careful while applying as it may increase the pigmentation further if skin gets irritated
Test it on a small area to look for any reaction first
A photo would be helpful to assess

Hello 👋
Dont do self medication without any consultation
Always do patch test over smaller area to see any reaction to it
Sometimes over dusky complexion skin the pigmentation becomes more prominent using few products or after laser treatment like post inflammatory pigmentation
Various treatment modalities are available depending on site and severity
Along with medications few procedures can be done
Next Steps
