Try these: The most common cause of dark areas--hyperpigmentation--is after an injury or inflammation. There are several OTC creams that can be purchased to try to lighten these areas. Look for labels that contain hydroquinone, glycolic acid & azelaic acid. Steroid creams & tretinoins (Retin A) have also been used, but I suggest only with a doctor's supervision.Try an OTC; if not satisfied, see Dermatologist
