Dark Spots on Legs. How Do I Get Rid of Them?

August 31, 2010
Asked By:tycarol in London

I'm 19, I used to have eczema when I was about 11-14, I'm now left with dark spots on my lower legs. I've been to dermatologists and they didn't know how to solve the issue. I was prescribed Cetraben emollient cream and I've been using it for 5 years, the spots have faded since then, but still haven't disappeared. I need help, what can I use so they disappear, so I can be able to wear skirts, etc.I've also been using the Dudu Osun black soap.
