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 Generalized Hyperpigmentation of face causing pigmented areas over face..
You can apply creams containing Kojic Acid,glycolic acid and arbutin as they help in reducing pigmentation and lightening the skin
You can also apply Vitamin E oil at night..
Avoid any Steroid containing face creams as they may show faster results but are harmful in long term..
Exfoliate your face and neck using a gentle scrub twice a week..
Wash your face with a mild facewash that contains glycolic acid.
Limit sun exposure and always apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
You can also go for Photofacial and glycolic acid peels for reducing pigmentation..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
