Brief Answer: melalite Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the query. This hyperpigmentation can be removed by using skin lightening creams like lokbrite or melalite. However it will be better if you can upload a photograph of the affected area. This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and a better line of management. Thank you
