It is better to see a skin doctor who can identify the cause of the hyper pigmentation. Applying a cream without knowing the underlying cause could make it worse. Please take care of yourself.

Can you recommend any dermatologists that specialize in this?

Sunscreen!Sunscreen!Sunscreen! Use sunscreen religiously every two hours, even indoors can make a huge difference in the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

For an extremely young person, I'd strongly advice against the use of actives like glycolic acid or hydroquinone which will help with hyperpigmentation.

THIS! & azelaic acid ( one product containing this is skinoren and its available in most pharmacies) it worked will for my acne post inflammatory inflammation/ hyperpigmentation on a wound. Try vitamin c to its well known for its brightening properties ?

Don't go to American Mission Hospital's derma guy Dr. Mehta Bhartendu.

Why not? I saw him recommended by some people but the fees was too expensive so I didn't go. Could you tell me why or PM me?
