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 sun tanning leading to hyperpigmentation that is causing dark spots over the face..
It occurs due to damage to skin by ultraviolet rays present in sun and persisting exposure can cause damaged skin leading to excessive melanin production as a protective phenomena..

The first thing that you should do is to limit sun exposure..
Cover your face with a scarp as much as possible when going into sun..
Always apply a sunscreen lotion..
Start using depigmentation creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic, arbutin etc..
Vitamin E gel is also effective.
Take Vitamin C supplements..
You can also exfoliate your skin twice a week with a gentle scrub..
Take face steam and after it scrub with a soft towel..

As far as hairfall is concerned it can occur due to a number of causes like Androgenic Aloepecia caused due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics while other causes comes under Telogen Efluvium caused by fungal infection,nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines..
You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assy, blood tests, trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..
You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp..
You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements..
You can also be advised to tke Finesteride orally if there is androgenic aloepesia as it suppresses androgens..
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..
You can also discuss about platelet rich plasma and Mesotherapy..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
