Question

Very dark Underarm and groin area: PCOD. 36 year old Asian Indian My periods are regular now without oral contraceptives used to regularize them. Am still on metformin 1000 mg daily to help with insulin resistance I guess. Overweight by 5 kgs. Do I have any long term options to treat discolouration?

Pubic and axillary pigmentation can be corrected and improved with application of Melapads and Melarase creams twice daily. If you want the process to go faster, you may also want to have some light chemical peels. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
