Hi,
You seem to have facial melanosis. It may be exacerbated by sunexposure, stress,vitamin deficiencies...etc. You discontinue all treatment you take. You apply kojic acid containing gel like kojivit or kovite active gel at night. And apply sunscreen like sunmask aqua gel. Take glutathion containing tablets daily. Take vitamin C tablets daily. Cleanse the face with glycolic acid containg face wash like ahaglow face wash. Never apply hydroquinone containing cream, which causes lots of side effects. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
