Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand from your query that you are having pigmentation on your face. This could be melasma.
Lomela cream should not be used for more than 6 weeks without doctor's supervision.
Once the pigmentation reduces, you can continue with the sunscreen like sunban every 4 hours in the day time.
At bedtime, use a cream containing 2 % kojic acid on the pigmented patches.
You could get glycolic acid based peels done by a dermatologist.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
