Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have black and brown dots in face . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like freckles , lentigines , actinic keratoses (sun damage) , seborrhoeic keratoses , facial pigmentation , melasma and a chronic pigment disorder . But in your case the symptoms are due to facial pigmentation or post inflammation hyper pigmentation . I would suggest you to wash your face with facewash containing salicylic acid twice a day and then apply kojic acid cream which is very effective for hyper pigmentation . Also apply turmeric powder in one spoon of honey . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment , retinoids and hydroquinone . Doctor may also recommend laser therapy and chemical peeling .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
