Hello,

As you have tried all kinds of creams and topical applications, it's useless to prescribe you any other cream. Chemical peel did not work. So you can go for cosmelan peel treatment as it has better treatment rate than chemical peel.

The following are few facts about cosmelan peel:
1) Cosmelan is a product that can treat all types of pigmentation such as melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation, solar and senile lentigo (age spots) and freckles.
2) Cosmelan is a peel procedure to reduce surface pigment followed by a special skincare regime to reduce pigment over three months
3) This treats the source of pigment by reducing melanin overproduction at the melanocyte
4) Dull skin, dark spots, dry areas, blemishes, and even acne scars can all be significantly decreased with the peel

You may try the cosmelan peel once. It's worth trying and i have seen people with positive therapeutic effects.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
