How To Get Rid Of Hyper Pigmentation On Inner Thigh Area?

How do I fix and get rid of the discoloration/hyperpigmentation of my inner thigh and behind area after a Brazilian wax? My skin was evenly toned before I got waxed months ago. After waxing, I noticed patches of (smooth) white spots in that area. It makes me very self-conscious when wearing a bathing suit. I d like to find something to cure this so I have my normal skin tone back.

Hi.
As per your case history of dark skin.
My treatment advice is –

1. Avoid using a razor or any cream for hair-removal.
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.
