Will Peels Work for Facial Pigmentations?

I'm a 32-year-old married lady from Pakistan. I've had these spots on my forehead, nose, and cheekbones for the past 4 years. I never used any cream or cosmetic on my face; even then, I still got them. Will Chemical Peel work on these areas?

Might help

 A skin peel might help, but it is best for you to have an evaluation.  If you post pictures, we may be able to give you more specific advice.  There are a multitude of procedures/creams/lasers/etc that may help and are worth trying.  Good luck.

Maybe

You would need to be evaluated by a dermatologist to determine exactly what these spots are.  If they are solar lentigos (sun spots), a single peel or series of peels can lighten or remove them.  If these growths are raised, they may still be removed, but chemical peel may not be effective. Good luck.
