I suggest peels and lightening creams for this.  although, there is no "cure" for this and it is often worsened with rubbing.  best, dr. emer.

A prescription bleaching cream such as Triluma® or even a prescription cortisone such as Topicort® may even out an area of hyperpigmentation on the body. Please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.

This is often genetic and due to hormones or rubbing but chemical peels and skin lightening often help.  Best, Dr. Emer.
