How significant is my farmers tan/permatan, and will getting a chemical peel get rid of it? (Photos)

mowaq
Hello, I'm a 27 y.o. male, and i have had a farmers tan/permatan covering the exposed parts of my body (face, neck, lower arms/forearms, lower legs/calves) for pretty much as long as i can remember, which is significantly darker than the unexposed areas of my body (upper arms, chest, thighs/upper legs). I was hoping if i could get a professional dermatologists opinion on just how siginificant my farmers tan/permatan is, and if it would be possible to get rid of with a chemical peel.
