Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Brief answer - Hyper pigmentation

Detailed answer - As per your query your skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented which seems to be due to excessive production of melanin pigment in body. Sometimes it is due to excessive exposure to sunlight. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cream rich in Azelaic acid or Kojic acid. Apply on face twice daily. It will lighten pigmentation on skin. use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30. You can go for home remedy as well. apply mashed potatoes on these pigments. It will resolve. apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil to lighten the pigments. You can visit dermatologist once and can go for chemical peeling or micro abrasion if your symptoms not resolving. Take supplements rich in vitamin C.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
