How do I get rid of dark inner thigh hyperpigmentation with clogged pores & wrinkles? (Photo)

Question

Please help... I have tried everything I know it's something out there to get rid of this. I have been suffering from dark inner thigh hyperpigmentation with clogged pores, hyperpigmentation and wrinkles for years due to me being overweight and chafing growing up. I also get small pimples down there as well. I'm thinking about getting a chemical peel but I don't know how effective that would be and the possibility of it coming back.

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Thank you, XYZ for your question and photographs.
 Photographic evaluation is incomplete without personal examination to give the most appropriate answer
 However from the photographs, it seems that,
You can try glycolic peel in order to treat your hyperpigmentation issue. The glycolic peel will help you get rid of hyperpigmentation by shedding off the superficial pigmented cells thus causing your skin tone to even out with the rest of your body. You must go for multiple sessions of glycolic peel as one session is not enough and your dermatologist will try different concentrations of glycolic peel such as 20%,,35%, 50%, and 70%etc, and check the results before deciding on the final concentration in your case. Also, you must apply topical creams which contain glycolic acid. kojic acid etc so it also supports the glycolic peel and helps to deliver faster results.

Please consult a board-certified dermatologist near you and discuss this in detail.
Wish you an alluring look.
