Thoes parts being my legs, my arms,my thigh and a little on my face. I have tryed coco butter, bleaching creams, the goo inside the Alvero plants, but nothing seems to work. I have not worn shorts or dresses because im embarressed of showing my legs and now that my arm are getting worse i try not to show them as well. I am lost in what to do, I have ran out of things to try so I come to you to see if you have other options that will be usefull to me. it would mean alot to me for you help. Thank you

Especially in the setting of these dark spots getting worse. I know this does not exactly give you the answer you were looking for, but I believe this to be safest and best option for you. DW more
