Brief Answer:
Skin whitening does not really work

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I understand your concerns but let me mention that skin whitening is a myth and although there are numerous creams that demand to do this, there is hardly any actual effect they yeild. You can upload an image of the area that you mention but I doubt if anything could really be done.
The sense of beauty or the association of skin colour with beauty is actually a social construct and depends merely on our own perception. There is always a brighter as well as a darker side of everything. Unless you can have a perspective focussing on the brighter side, life will become meaninglessly dull. So, cheer up and get content that you are good looking. What actually matters is ones own perception about ownself.
