Hi,
I have gone through your complaints and it seems to be melasma. It is a very chronic and resistant disease that waxes and wanes over a period of time.
You can apply Kojic Acid based cream on the affected areas along with a regular application of a sunscreen on the entire face during the daytime.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
