Best treatment for uneven skin tone?

I am 15 years old and I have really badly uneven skin tone on my back. I want to get rid of it fast before summer so I can wear things that show my back. What's the best treatment?

A: Perhaps light peels

You and a parent should consult a board certified dermatologist. A series of light chemical peels or SilkPeel are very safe and effective for blending in discolorations from acne. You will, of course, have to get parental permission for these procedures. Good luck.
