Dark spots on the legs

Dark spots , ie hyperpigmentation, on the lower legs can be very difficult and tricky to remove. Most efforts do not work and some risk making it worse. Try prescription bleaching creams under supervision of a dermatologist and if this doesnt work would not pursue much further.
