Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dark spots on face since 2 years which is because hormonal change at particular age and this condition is recurrent. I would suggest you to start with application of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel You should drink plenty of water. You may use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel. Apply mashed potatoes on face to lighten skin. Apply creams rich in kojic acid and benzoyl gel as well. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once. Dermabrasion, Fractional CO 2 Laser, Chemical peeling,Miocroabrasion are all recent methods of skin clearing. Don't pick up acne as it will leave scars on face.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
