I'm traumatized and depressed over darkening around my collarbone, chest, and neck, how can I lighten my skin? (Photos)

Question

Please help me if someone knows what this could be really heartbreaking to look at myself in the mirror everyday it looks worse in person.

Thanks for your question and posting pictures.  Do not get upset.  The good news is the birthmark is dark and you have lighter skin.  That is a good combination for energy devices.  Unfortunately, there isn't one device that will work on everyone for this.  After a consultation in a medical setting, we would probably start with our highest success option of the PicoSure laser with either the FOCUS and / or Flat lens.  Some physicians on this site have also suggested a tattoo laser.  We could also try the PicoSure in tattoo mode for a test spot.  None of these options should make it worse and more than likely one will work very well to minimize or even eliminate it.  I hope this helps
