What Causes Pigmentation On Neck, Armpits And Knee?

Hi Doctor I have dark areas on my neck, armpits, knees, inner thighs and under my breasts. I have had this since i can remember and used everything i could think of. I went to see a dermatologist who told me that it is heredity and there is nothing he can do for me. I tried laser treatments but it only got lighter just after the treatment but would return to its normal colour after a few days. Is there anything i can use to make it lighter??? I have been tested for diabetes but I do not have it.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you already consulted dermatologist, tried laser treatment also but the condition doe not improved it means the dark areas are not due to any disease that can be treated so better to cover it cosmetically instead hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
