Black spots on my lap. How can I lighten them? (Photo)

February 11, 2016
Asked By:Sliky in Nigeria

Hi Docs, My name is Mary and I am an African. I have these black spots since I was 7 I usually have this breakout on my right lap which is so itchy and after scratching it the acne will turn into a little wound, dry out and becomes so DARK like a BIG BLACK SPOT. This has been happening for over 10. I have tried different lighten product but seems to take ages or not even working at all. Please help on what to do. The strangest part is that the breakout/acne occurs on the same right lap.
