I am having problems with one of my knees. It's way darker than the other one. Is a chemical peel the right choice?

Question

its way darker than the other one . that happened over the years since i was a little girl. i tried whiting creams,natural home remedies and nothing really worked. i was thinking of doing the chemical peel for hyper pigmentation . i never tried that so i don't know if that's the right choice for me.

Great question. A combination of topical therapy with Melarase creams plus Melapeels or a similar chemical peel may help improve the color of the skin. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your question.Without a picture and more information, it is impossible to know what is going on with your knee.

To be sure what might be right for you, see two or more experienced, licensed
and certified providers for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good
candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.

I hope this helps.
