The melasma discoloration that some women get during pregnancy can be tenacious in terms of disappearing. Maybe you need a laser series of treatments and I would discuss that with your doctor, since there are a number of avialable treatments now - or you might want to get a second opnion. I would hope that the current treatment options can significantly lighten these areas.
Good luck!!
