Dark spot correction can be attained with use of the Melarase creams, Melapads, and once monthly Melapeels. The creams may work well for dark skin types, including Indian or Pakistani. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles
The question is why is your chin darker than the rest of you face and body? Do you have a birthmark? Is there and ongoing inflammatory condition such as acne, eczema or ingrown hairs? The treatment would depend on the cause. If you have a birthmark you may need a laser procedure? If inflammation is the cause then you must treat the problem and perhaps use a bleaching or brightening cream.
I see this condition very often and begin patients on MelaPads in the morning and Melarase PM in the evening to reduce pigmentation and dark spots.
This post-laser hyperpigmentation is common and can be addressed effectively with Melaquin AM and Melaquin PM treatment protocols to improve post Fraxel hyperpigmentation.
Begin with Melapads and Melarase PM for light pigmentation. If the pigmentation is severe in the armpits, opt for the Body Brightening kit followed by Clear and Brilliant lasers. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

There are many creams to lighten the skin, including Elure. I emphasize creams that are effective tyrosinase inhibitors such as Melarase for lightening skin and hyperpigmentation. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles
