Hi,
It may be a tanning effect due to the sun. However,consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. You seem to have tendency to develop hypermelanosis after exposure to sun.
So, you should protect from sun rays. Cover the area of arms, forearms, shoulder and neck with clothes.
Apply sunscreen of 50 SPF on areas of hands, neck, face and the area which is not covered by clothes.
Whenever you go under the sun. Take antioxidant cap, vitamin E cap, vitamin C tablets, etc. Apply Kojic acid containing cream on the hyper pigmented areas. Take bath with Kojic acid containing soap.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
