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 have a dark brown birthmark on my hand and want to remove it completely but safely. Would laser treatment work better or should I consider cosmetic surgery? What are the pros and cons of each option?
For complete and safe removal of a dark brown birthmark on your hand, both laser treatment and cosmetic surgery are viable options. Laser treatment is generally preferred for its non-invasive nature and effectiveness in breaking down pigmentation, while surgery provides a more definitive removal, albeit with the potential for scarring. The best approach for you will depend on the size, location, and type of your birthmark, as well as your personal preferences and comfort level.
