Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
If I was your treating doctor I would have advised you to use a cream containing one or more of the lightening agents: Kojic acid, Hydroquinone, Glycolic acid, Arbutin or Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate etc
Along with
A broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day, specially the one which offers protection against both UVB and UVA.
An oral Vitamin C supplement once daily would also help to lighten it faster.
You can also opt for Glycolic peeling session from a dermatologist.
take care
