A number ...: Products have been developed to lighten skin tone or even out spots & marks by lessening the concentration of melanin, the pigment of skin. Hydroquinone is used primarily but it can thin the skin & higher concentrations require a prescription. Other agents include azelaic acid, glutathione, alpha hydroxy acids, and laser or cryosurgery. All these should be pursued with supervision from a doctor
