Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hyperpigmentation in neck area. Need not to worry. You can start with glutathione for this pigmentation. I would suggest you to avoid exposure to sun whenever possible and if you have to go out cover your skin with wet cloth and apply medicated sunscreen TAN CARE on skin rich in spf 30. Honey is also an effective agent for lightening skin pigments. Use creams rich in kojic acid at nighttime and rich in azelaic acid at day time. Drink plenty of water and fluids to nourish body and keep hydrated yourself. If you need chemical treatment go for chemical abrasion and peeling. Laser therapy is another effective way of regaining natural skin color. At home mashed potatoes can be applied for 10-15 mins. as they will absorb dark pigments of skin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
