Welcome to HCM
This is Dr Amit. I can understand your concern.
I will suggest you to see a dermatologist just to make sure it is not due to more than sun damage. Many bleaching agents take a long time to work. Some are very harsh and may cause skin reactions.
Remember to wear daily sunscreen to prevent more discolorations.
Meanwhile you can try rubbing your skin with fresh lemon halves, papaya or potatoes and then exfoliating with a gentle scrub once in a week
Hope i have given satisfactory answer to your question.
Regards
