Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Though It's difficult to diagnose without actual examination, from your history and description, it seems you are having Plasma. Melasma is a kind of hyperpigmentation seen mostly in females of middle age and is dictated by hormones and sunlight. It treatment is challenging but with proper regimen good results can be achieved. Usually the treatment is divided into clinic based treatment and home based. At clinic, I suggest series of chemical peels like glycol, Lesser, TCA with or without microdermabrasion. At home, you can apply cream containing comic acid, albumin, etc. and vitamin C serum for maintenance. Use high SPF sunscreen on regular basis. Use glycolic acid based face wash. Hope this will take care of your issue. Chat Doctor.
