How To Cure Hyper Pigmentation On The Arms And Vagina?
I suffer with hyperpigmentation on my underarms, anus and vaginal area since pregnancy. I have seen many kinds of creams that claim to remove melanin or lighten darkened skin but what kind of ingredients should I look out for, that will affectively help my hyperpigmentation? Or are there any other means of reducing hyperpigmentation, especially on the vaginal area?

Hi.
As per your case history of dark skin.
My treatment advice is –
1. Avoid sun-exposure and use a good sun-screen with spf more than 30.
2. Apply a kojic acid cream like kojivit twice daily on dark skin.
3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 30days .
4. Other treatment options are oral isotretinoin, topical hydroquinone and chemical peeling done by a dermatologist.
Thanks.
