Hi there.
I read your query with interest.
From your history, it appears there is a very strong hereditary predisposition to this patterned pigmentation.
I do believe the condition you ail from is termed 'melasma'.
If the pigmentation is epidermal (or in the top layers of skin), you have a good chance of lightening with creams. If dermal as is most often the case, then the chances of cosmolite or any cream working are slim.
Please do go across to a dermatologist near you & get an assessment. If in Bangalore, you are most welcome for a free assessment @ Vikram Hospital or Sita Bhateja Speciality Hospital.
It may require a multi-pronged treatment with peels & creams depending on your particular case & budget et al.
Good Luck & wish you a clear complexion soon!
