Niacinamide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niacinamide) is claimed to be a much safer alternative when applied topically for skin or genitalia whitening.[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)] According to a cosmetic company, it has no adverse side-effects and as well as acne reduction, also increases skin moisture and reduces fine wrinkles.
Another alternative to laser treatment is cryosurgery using liquid nitrogen. Controlled destruction of skin cells causes the skin to naturally regenerate itself. Excess melanin comes to the surface and peels off in a few days. This is particularly useful in sensitive areas like the genitals where laser treatment could leave a scar. Efficacy of the treatment depends on the depth of the pigment. Freckles in any part of the body can be treated the same way
