    Dermetologist in London, Uk
    Hey guys. I have a problem - in my childhood I obtained many scars from climbing trees and being the ulltimate tomboy lol but now I have all these dark marks and not sure how to get rid of them. I've tried almost everything and think I need some professional help.

    I am of african origin and quite light therefore the dark marks are very visible so can anyone recommend a dermatologist in London UK for me?

    Wow... Nobrownsugar thazt sounds a lot like me when I was a kid. Because I used to climb trees, climb and jump over gates, fight boys, and anything else rough since I grew up with 4 brothers, as my sister had moved away.

    Unfortunately, I have several scars on my legs, hands, and arms that are still visible. I am fading mine with lactic acid which is an AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) 2x a week, along with a skin lightener. Glycolic acid is another option and is stronger.

    Also, Retin-a (tretinoin) can be used along with a good skin lightener to help fade the areas.. but for my body, I have been able to have more success with AHAs for the thicker areas of my skin.
