I’m Indian and suffer from Indian black pigmentation around my mouth. Will a chemical peel help?

There are treatments and treatment approaches that may help you. What you don't need is a doctor who has an empathic brake and can't understand your concerns. All care really must be based on a thoughtful personal examination. There is a significant role for careful sun protection. Mild chemical peels that do not stimulate hyperpigmentation is helpful. The newer pico duration 532nm ND:YAG and 755 Alexandrite laser are being used by dermatologist to carefully target pigment. The ultra short durations pulses are less likely to stimulate post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It starts by finding the right dermatologist. Look for someone who is interested in providing care for skin of color and understands your concerns.
