Hi.
As per your case-history you are having facial hyperpigmentation.
My treatment advice-
1. Avoid Sun-exposure. Use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Avoid using other cosmetics like scrubs and face-wash.
3. Stop hydroquinone cream - it causes exogenous ochronosis.
4. Using a kojic acid cream twice daily on dark area for 4 weeks.
Consult a dermatologist for further treatment based on result.
Thanks.
