Can I use a Retin-A chemical peel on bikini line from using skin bleaching?

Resourceful8739
I am a 19 year old African American girl. I noticed ingrown hairs and dark scarring all over my bikini line so I started using a skin lightening cream for a couple of weeks and it made my skin even darker. I’ve been doing research and I was wondering if I could use a Retin-A chemical peel or a lactic acid peel to reverse the effects? I have tried everything from oils to aloe vera.
