What Causes Dark Skin Tone On The Abdomen, Back And Buttocks?
Hi, Unknowingly at the age of around 21 (I am 26 now), I used to scrub my body very hardly everyday. After a month or like that, I observed that my skin tone on abdomen, back and butts got darker than my original color. Then I stopped scrubbing my body. Please suggest what to do to get my original fair color in these parts.

Dark skin is due to injury to your skin and pigmentation caused by excessive scrubbing.
Advice
1. Apply a cream containing hydroquinone 2%, tretinoin 0.025%, and mometasone furoate 0.1% (such as Melacare cream) at bed time locally for three months
2. Apply Elovera cream in the morning for 6 months
3. Do not scrub your skin
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
Thanks
