Large Brown patch
I have widespread brown patchcovering my whole chest area. It was smaller in size during my childhood years but literally seemed to grow or expand. It also has a few pimples here and there. It bothers me a lot as I feel underconfident to wear certain dresses.
Is there any home remedy or lotion or treatment to lighten it or much better to totally vanish it?
Some doctors told that it can't be removed which inturn made me worried?
Please help!

Hi..Andamanite...a brown patch on chest with pimples and growing in size with you is most likely to be a Becker's naevus. It is a birthmark which can be reduced only by a q switched laser therapy. I have a Pico laser that gives marvellous results. This laser is not available on India.

you can contact me via Juvenis Clinic in Mumbai for a video consultation. we can discuss the treatment steps further.
