Asked By:anjnim in Harrow, F4

I am 21 years old and had eczema when I was younger (2-15) which left a very uneven skin tone on my legs. I have used creams such as hydrocortisone to even the skin tone but this was not effective in the slightest. After reading about chemical peels and how they have positively affected many others with such hyperpigmentation, I believe that it may resolve the problems I have with uneven skin tone. However, I do not know which peel I should consider, let alone use. Thank you!!!
