1. dark skin/ring around the waist line can be due to tight clothing around the waist, [the skin in that area becomes dark due to the friction], thus one has to determine what might be causing this skin discoloration.
2. get yourself examined with relevant investigation, because appropriate treatment demands accurate diagnosis and diagnosis needs physician consultation. [In best Interest it will be wise to see a Dermatologist for proper evaluation and management]
3. depigmenting creams containing hydroquinone 4%, tretinoin, momatosone twice a day, may offer help likewise TCA [glycolic peels], micro dermabration, laser therapy helps to give smooth and even skin.
4. Potato acts as a very good bleaching agent, this would lighten the marks.
5. Take two spoonful of gram flour, add a pinch of turmeric, few drops of lemon juice and make a paste with a spoonful of curd. Apply this pack regularly and you will notice drastic changes.
6. Make a mixture of tomato juice and lemon juice, apply this mixture daily with a cotton ball. It lightens the skin tone and marks.
