can I get a chemical peel for a darkened upper lip
I have been undergoing treatment for melasma from different doctors forthe past year and the hydroquinone and salycic acid creams have not worked. Now I have a very dark upper lip and the side of my face,cheek and neck is still very dark,but especially my upper lip, it has caused my self esteem to go so low..I am now thinking a chemical peel can help. Is it possible that it help the stubborn hyperpigmentation? Or what else can be done?
