Q. Are skin peeling procedures effective in treating dark underarms?
Hello doctor,
I am a 24-year-old female. I have dark underarms. I used hair removal cream when I was a teenager. I went to a dermatologist and she suggested a skin-peeling treatment. It is expensive. So, I just wanted to know if such procedures are effective and for how long? Or are there any creams available to treat this problem that I can buy and use?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have noted your concern.
You may use Litearm Lotion for dark underarms. It contains Glycolic acid as the main active ingredient which has a skin lightening and exfoliating action. Chemical peeling too induces skin exfoliation thus shedding off excess pigment.
Regards.
Thank you doctor,
So, should I skip the session and focus only on the cream you have suggested?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
If you are already undergoing chemical peels, then I suggest you continue with the sessions as advised by your doctor. You may use the cream for maintenance of improvement or in between peeling sessions.
Regards.
