Hyperpigmentation of neck.
I have pcod, but no thyroid issues. Mild hirutism and recent onset of hairfall is there and so gynaecologist suggested me aldactone tablet. Otherwise for pcod, i dont take any hormonal pills as gynae suggested me to stop taking pcod hormonal medicines now as my menstrual cycle more or less remains normal nowadays. I am in diet and weight loss journey now for pcod. But my neck, underarams and thighs are hyperpigmented. And this lowers my confidence. I consulted with my gynae , he told me to apply melalite once daily every night for 2 months. 1 month already gone but no change in hyperpigmentation. Please suggest me any topical or oral medicine for this hyperpigmentation and overall even tone of this areas.

Melalite won’t work much in this case.
