Hi! My arms, neck and back has been pigmented. My doctor prescribed me to use apple cider vinegar and rinsed off after dry it and apply kojic cream. I used sunscreen spf 30 also. I follow up this process last six months. This process is effective but long time process. Please suggest me what should I do to get rid of pigmentation fast and permanently?

Its possible to achieve your basic color back by taking a skin lightening treatment regimen for 6-8 months, consisting of sunscreens, skin lightening creams, antioxidants and multivitamins and external treatments like peels. After this you will have to maintain the results by application of sunscreen and moisturisers daily. A combination of all these treatments with Q-switch laser can help you achieve lightening of the pigment. Stick to the treatment for 8-10 months and take optimum sessions of the laser.
