Dear doctor I have hypopigmented patches round my neck. I am 32 years old and had long back taken treatment for this. With hydroquinone cream it looks better than before but still the neck area appears darker than my face and body. Kindly suggest a remedy. Thanks in advance.

Hi lybrate-user if your neck is darker than the rest of the body 1. It is common in dark skinned individuals 2. It could be related to weight gain/ diabetes- acanthosis-3. Hormonal disturbance among the common causes. You can try chemical peeling along with lightening agents containing Kojic, Arbutin or licorice.

Hello, would be glad to answer your query. For the black spots and uneven tone which you have told, chemical peeling definitely works. It helps in getting the skin rejuvenated. But you should carefully follow the instructions as given by your doctor, during and after the sessions. But for the old scars, if they are atrophic deep scars, then may be after these sessions or combined with them few other minor procedures like needling or dermabrasion might be required. However it depends on the type of skin you have and the type of scars. Go ahead with the treatment suggested by your skin specialist.
