Asked By:mimi86uk1 in New York, NY

Can someone tell me what this is and how to remove it? I've had it since I was a child. Every creases and every wrinkle in my skin whether it be the wrinkles in my feet or on my knuckles, is highly pigmented like in the image. It makes them look more prominent, giving the appearance of heavily aged hands, feet, arms you name it. Why does it look this?
