Hi, you are having sun induced hypermelanosis. You start sunscreen lotion application during day time. Rub kojic acid and vitamin C containing cream at night. Wash the face with kojic acid and glycolic acid containing face wash. Have nutritious food. Take proper sleep. Avoid stress. I hope you will get good result.. Ok
