Hi,

I feel that you are having facial melanosis.

There may be some cause.

That may be sun exposure,hormonal imbalance ,soap,cosmetics,talcum powder, cosmetics,pollution,internal diseases,vitamin deficiencies..etc.

You consult dermatologist.

Blood tests may be done to rule out any internal disease.

Thorough history may be taken to find out some external cause.

If cause is found , take treatment to alleviate.

Apply kojic acid containing cream.

Take glutathion ,vitamin C and nicotinic acid.

I think you may be benefitted.

I hope you got my answer.
