The condition is called melasma
Facial will not help much
You need to use sunscreens on a regular basis
Sunscreen is the most important aspect of treatment
Avoid melacare orcreams with similar composition as they contain topical steroids which can harmthe skin if used for prolonged period without guidance.
Melasma isa chronic conditions and needs prolonged treatment
One of the recently adopted mode of therapy by dermatologist is peels and topical demelanising agents used cyclical.
