I've noticed that the skin under my chin has gotten dark because I've been using a plucker to remove the hair there. Is it possible to use chemical peeling to lighten the dark skin and follow up with laser treatments to stop the hair growth?

I'm a 21-year-old guy and this morning, I noticed two mustard-yellow spots that are about 4x5 cm. There's no swelling or pain, but I feel a bit of numbness when I press on them. I've never experienced anything like this before and I don't have a history of liver issues. Plus, I haven't bumped or injured myself recently. Do you have any idea what it could be?
