I have on both of my feet that were caused by wearing tight shoes. I tried using hydroquinone, Elocon cream (0.1 Mometasone Furoate) and some over the counter whitening creams and nothing has worked. I also went to a laser clinic for a consultation in which the laser that removes tattoos was tested but it also had no effect.
