Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from post inflammatory hyperpigmentation leading to dark patches on face that is caused due allergic reaction and you need to keep patience as the hyperpigmentation can take a long time to resolve..
You can start washing your face with Salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash..
You can apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
Grapeseed extract and Licorice extract containing creams are also helpful..
Vitamin E and C containing creams are also helpful..
You can exfoliate your skin twice a week with a gentle scrub..
You can also go for treatments like Photofacial, Chemical peeling and Microdermabrasions..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
