Brief Answer:
Need to take skin treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Thanks for the pictures.
You surely have a irregular skin complexion along with certain post acne scars as well .
Now the best treatment for your skin problem would be chemical peels or dermabrasion or laser photo facials.
Either of these treatments require regular two to four weekly sittings from a nearby dermatologist.You might require a total of four to six sittings but this treatment will really help in improving your skin color and removing all the imperfections and irregularities in skin color .
So you can plan a visit to a good nearby dermatologist and discuss these options .
For the time being ,you can start application of kojic acid cream twice daily over the pigmented areas of the face .
Use a medicated sunscreen with spf more than 26 regularly before going out in the sun .Apply it atleast thirty minutes before going out and re apply every three hourly.
Take oral vitamin c tablet 500 mg once daily .
Eat lots of citrus fruits and fresh salads .


Hope it helps
