Suggest Treatment For Darkened Skin Around Mouth After Chemical Peel

Dear Sir, I am wheatish in colour but my skin is soft. In may 2009 i had few pimples and allopathy doctor suggested chemical peel. First time it was effective. Second time i was totally effected and my skin became darker specially at mouth portion almost black. i had used lot of creams and got further peels done and my skin became dry and got lot of pimples. Later since i felt my skin became allergic to allopathy i shifted to homeopathy and used for an year. now i skin is slightly bright and no pimples but the pigmentation at mouth portion specially at lip ends is not reducing. I thought of using ayurvedic parallelly and visited yesterday only Ayurvedic doctor and he asked me to use Evenshade cream and gave me few tablets for 15 days. I would like to know from you sir since my skin is very sensitive and even if i apply lemon it becomes darker at mouth portion, is it safe to use evenshade. I request you to reply to this sir. Thank you in advance

After chemical peels it is very important to use broad spectrum sunscreen with spf50 morning &afternoon at least 15 minutes before stepping out .Cover the face with cloth or use umbrella .For darker area around the mouth apply cream containing hydroquinone at night for at least 3 weeks.Avoid lemon for now.
