Hello,

It looks like you are suffering from hyperpigmentation called melasma or chloasma. It occurs due to excessive exposure to the sun rays (overproduction of Melanin) or hormonal problems or changes. Avoid direct exposure to sun rays, stay in a cool room as much as you can, Laser treatment effectively treats hyperpigmentation.

You can apply Tretinoin creams in the area affected. Topical Hydroquinone creams for local application, always apply sunscreen lotion. Take B complex dietary supplements.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
