I have alot of dark spots on my legs (strawberry legs). I hate them and want them to lighten up or disappear. My legs are very light so they show. It makes me really insecure to wear shorts or dresses. I wanted to know what can I do to get rid of them or lighten them significantly. Can I get a chemical peel on my legs? Please help
