I have brown mark/areas around my penis area. Any suggestions to lighten?

Question

I have brown mark/areas around my penis area and I am not feeling comfortable. I was wondering how I can get rid of it or perhaps lighten this area around my penis. Thanks

This can be treated with peels, q switch/pico or fractional lasers, and skin lightening creams. Please see a dermatologist with experience.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Skin discoloration in the male or female pubic areas is often a difficult subject to discuss. Our office specializes in dyspigmentation and we have found the Luminase and Exfolase Body Brightening Kit to be exceptional in these cases. Of course, one must distinguish between abnormal pigmentation and genetically-defined darkening of the penis, labia minora and majora that results from a combination of increased vasculature and genetic skin tone.

Lightening of the penis, pubis, inner thighs, outer vulva, labia minora, labia majora, and anus can be achieved with a combination of the Body Brightening Kit and light chemical peels. The process takes several months to achieve results.
