Is marie france kojic soap safe to use for hyperpigmentation. what are some safe medications i can take to lighten black areas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dunno: In general hyper pigmentation involves an increased number of melanocytes or activity of those cells and soap just cleans the top layer of skin cells. I would go see a top dermatologist and discuss management issues with him/her.
