Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
There could be many causes for pigmentation like melasma, ashy dermatosis, lichen planus pigmentosus, sun induced damage. Treatment varies to some extent in all these conditions. i would advise that you meet a dermatologist nearby for proper evaluation of your skin and appropriate treatment
