Second opinion - pigmentation
Hello doctor
I am planning to get a series of chemical peel done around my inner thighs due to pigmentation
I visited one derma and they said to reduce weight first because after weight loss it lightens and also that chemical peel around genital area can be risky
So looking for consultation where I would like to know if it can be done with some cream as I need to change color of jock area by June. Let me know possibilities - thanks.
