Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hyper pigmentation on the lower abdomen and inner thigh which is because of melanocytes of skin start producing more pigment production and leads to brownish pigmentation of skin.

Need not to worry. 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. Use metarub on daily basis to wash this area as it will prevent pigmentation. Apply tea tree oil on skin dipped in cotton on daily basis to lighten pigments. Use creams rich in kojic acid at night time. Drink plenty of water and fluids to nourish body and keep rehydrated yourself. If symptoms keeps on persiting visit dermatologist once, get complete examination done and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
