Can I use a lightening cream to reduce nipple size?

My areolas have a 6cm diameter and I’d like to reduce the size. I don’t have a hard edge either because I’m so fair and so are my areolas (very, very light pink). I know people use nipple lightening cream all over but is it possible to just trace around the edges to make my areolas appear smaller? Maybe with a hydroquinone product? I’d like try every avenue before going with surgery. Thanks!
