What Does A Circular Brown Spot On Chin Indicate?

Hello, I am 22 years old, I have had a circular brown spot on my chin since I was 5 years old. It just showed up out of nowhere. I have only treated it once in 1999 with Lustra-AF. It worked then after a few months of treatment and it completely went away for 9 or 10 months. I had stopped treatment after 2 months of its disappearence. It just showed back up again right after those 9 or 10 months. How would I go about ridding it now being 22 years old? I should ve continued the treatment, right? Should I use Lustra-AF again?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Lustra AF contains hydroquinone 4 percent which is used as a depigmenting agent. You can again try using it for your brown spot for 2-3 months but cautiously as it can make your skin more sensitive and always with the application of a sunscreen. Also if your spot doesnt improve within 2 months you need to consult a doctor.
