hi i think dark ness of forehead is mainly due to photodermatoses.use a good sunscreen of spf more than 30 early in the morning before going outdoors and apply a moisteriser along with triglow cream in the night for 3-4 months can get a good response .if no response go for chemical peels like azalic acid or mandelic acid
