Homoeopathy can help you with this problem. But first stop all chemical peels n other cosmetic treatments. See chemical peel removes the top most layer of your skin, so your inner layer , which is very tender is exposed to all damages ( sun/dust/infections). And the pigmentation is due to inflammation , just like it happens at the site of any injury .

DEAR MS MEENAKSHI,
POST INFLAMMATORY HYPERPIGMENTATION IS A WELLKNOWN POSSIBILITY IF PEEL IS DONE IN A PATIENT WITH BROWN SKIN (I.E. NOT A FAIR COMPLEXION)
THE TREATMENT OF THE SAME WOULD DEPEND ON THE DEPTH OF HYPERPIGMENTATION.
