What can I do about hyperpigmentation on thighs and groin area?
I'm Asian with medium brown skin, and I have very dark patches of skin in between my thighs and groin. It extends down to my mid thigh and back of thigh. A dermatologist prescribed some creams, but they didn't work. Any advice?

Hello, I have the same problem, I'm a white man and I have a postinflammatory hyperpigmentation of my groin and perianal area, my doctor said, this will dissapear with time, but it has been more than one year!! It really bothers me, I will try everything to get rid of that. I tried a weak TCA peel, glycolic acid 30%, but it's not better, I'll try to make some other peels and if this won't work, I'll try some of the hydroquinone creams even if they are not 100% safe. Keep hope alive!
