Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Kojic acid based creams will be helpful in whitening the dark areas. Taking vitamin C and vitamin E is also good for this.

Other options are ayurvedic over the counter products like himalaya antiblemishing cream or vicco turmeric.
Natural remedies you can use mix of lemon juice and honey , aloe vera.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
