Hi Dear,

understanding your concern.

Skin complexion become dark when melanocyte cells ( cell which produce skin pigment melanin) start producing excess pigment . This production is trigger by many factors like excessive sun exposure and chemical in water like chlorine and other salt . I would suggest you to try to bath with cold water and soft soap , apply lojic acid cream twice a day after bath and apply aloe vera gel at night before going to bed . Also start taking vitamin E supplement for health skin texture and color complexion . If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment or retinoids .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
