How do I get rid of dark inner thighs? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Treatment and the potential to improve really depends on what the pigmentation is secondary to. So more history need to be ascertained before knowing whether lasers will work or not, or whether the pigmentation is likely to come back and how many treatments would be needed.

The laser treatments recommended are essentially Q switch Nd:Yag laser which is the gold standard to laser treatment. However, a history and proper diagnosis will be able to tell you whether the laser is the way to go and what are the chances of it coming back.

The skin around the groin is usually thick and whitening creams often have a difficult time penetrating so manage your expectation on how much it will work but it can be one of the methods to try.

Lastly, you need to know if anything that causes it to appear is not constantly still around to further make it come back. Remember if the cause is not treated or avoided, it may be pointless to treat it.
