Pigmentation after laser
I have patches of depigmentation and hyperpigmentation in my underarms which is very prominent . The depigmented areas are very prominent . This started few months
after laser hair removal . Could you kindly treat this so that the depigmented area will get pigmented again and there is even skin colour like before ? There is no redness , rash, itchiness or skin peeling. I have tried hydrocortisone 1% cream but it remains unchanged . Will chemical peel or microdemrabrasion help ?

The pigmentation in the underarm is treatable. Proper medical history and examination of the area is required to assess the depth of the pigmentation. Blood tests may be advised to rule out other causes of the pigmentation. Chemical peels can help fade the pigmentation.
