How To Treat Skin Darkness, Post Radiation Treatment?
I finished radiation for breast cancer 3 months ago. Most of my skin has returned to near normal color, but the area under my breast and arm is still very dark. It is not irritated or raw, just dark. I use a moisturizer daily (Aquafor or Cetaphil). Is there anything else I can do? I am 56 years old and did not go through chemo. I'm 5'8" and about 160.

You don't need any further treatment. You can used cream like depiwhite to that area. It will come back to normal within few days. It is common after radiotherapy. Don't worry about that.
