Abstract

Patients with darkness in the genital area, without previous symptoms or diseases, but who do not feel comfortable with the appearance of the area, in general, don’t present a good clinical outcome with conventional medical procedures already published in the literature. In this chapter, we show our clinical experience combining chemical peel and Q-switched Nd/Yag laser.
