Hi, chemical peels and lasers help in lighten the pigmented areas depending on the depth of the pigmentation. Retinol peels also would be a good option in reducing the pigmentation to some extent. Since you have mentioned that this issue has been there since childhood, I would recommend that we should do an online consultation along with evaluation of pictures and history.
