My belly button is brown after recently having a baby. Could I bleach it back to its original white color? (photo)

Question

I keep myself very clean, but after I had my baby I noticed it’s a weird brown color when it used to be my white skin color. I think the discoloration is from having my baby but I hate my belly button I want the original one I had before I had my son

we like treating this with cosmelan then vivatia and photo plus long term.
Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimontly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there,In time this should disappear but you can try using a q tip with alcohol, baby wipes, I have even heard of some women using olive oil.  Be consistent daily with one of those options and in time it should disappear.Best of luck....
