Hi.
As per your case-history my treatment advice is-
1. Certain medicines are photosensitive and may cause facial hyperpigmentation. So it is better to stop the medicines you are taking.
2. Avoid Sun-exposure. Use a good sunscreen with spf more than 30.
3. Take vitamin b12 supplement once daily.
4. Avoid using other cosmetics and home remedies.
5. Use kojic acid cream once at night
Skin will be back to normal in 12-14 weeks.
Thanks.
