A member asked:

How do you clear up hyper-pigmentation on dark, sensitive skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hyperpigmentation: See your dermatologist for the best medicines for sensitive skin. Most patients can tolerate some version of hydroquinone to lighten dark spots, but there are great alternatives for those who cant, such as azeleic acid, kojic acid, and other brighteners.
