Hi,
You must have developed sunburn, followed by pigmentation.
Strict sun protection is advised. Start using a sunscreen during day time.You can continue emollients. Steroid creams like hydrocortisone or desonide may be applied twice daily. It will help in reducing inflammation as well as pigmentation.
A dermatology opinion must be shought.
