Hello,

You have symptoms of dark spots and hyperpigmentation on the face which could be due to excessive exposure to UV rays. Need not to worry. I would suggest you wash your face with mild soap twice a day and apply kojivit cream. You should exfoliate your skin twice a week and apply vitamin E oil at night before going to bed. Protect your skin from excess sun exposure as it can worsen the condition. It condition doesn't get improved in a month than consult dermatologist again for proper examination. The doctor may prescribe benzoyl peroxide cream, corticosteroid cream, and retinoids. The doctor may recommend chemical peeling or dermabrasion depending upon the severity of the condition.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
