Hello,
I understand your concern for the hyper-pigmentation on right side chest.
After reading your query it appears to be nevoid pigmentation or simply saying pigmentation related to "Becker's nevus'.
It is a proliferation of specific cells which produces color under the skin called as melanocytes. As there are deeper in origin therefore none of the medication applied over the skin is actually beneficial.
In such kind of cases I generally prefer to do Laser ablation of the area. I suggest you to meet a proper dermatologist who can judge the exact amount and grade of pigmentation and therefore can suggest you the proper treatment accordingly.
All the best.
