How To Get Rid The Ugly Looking Skin On The Shoulders And Upper Arm?
Hi doctor, I have been waxing my arms for 3 years. I have dark spots and very ugly looking skin on my shoulders and upper arms now. I have stopped waxing. Is there any way to reduce these spots and restore my original skin colour? If yes, how many days will it take?

Hi,
I would recommend you to apply glycolic acid cream on the marks along with the application of sunscreen on the arms and shoulders.
Also, consult a dermatologist and go for chemical peels.
Multiple sessions will be required but it is an effective treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
