Dark pores/hair follicles on chest: nothing has lightened these marks. (Photo)

March 1, 2018
Asked By:renai34 in Albuquerque, NM

Hi. I have dark pores/ hair follicles on my chest which are very embarrassing. I've tried acne body washes, Retin-A, over the counter creams, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid etc. Although my skin becomes smoother, nothing has lightened these marks. Are there any options involving lasers or cosmetic surgery that may help? Thank you for your time.
