Suggest Remedy For Pigmentation Problem Around The Mouth
Hi,
The area around my mouth is darker than the other part of my face. I have tried many doctors and medicines like Clonate lotion, Carofit ultra etc. However, it did improve very little but never have cured all.
Could you please suggest something (but not the steroids and other harmful bleach which was prescribed once and has done a lot damage) for permanent cure.
