Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
Brief answer - Generalized Hyper pigmentation
Detailed answer - As per your query face pigmentation along with pigmentation on elbows, knees, armpits on your skin is because of increased sensitivity of getting pigmented. Due to inceased sun exposure and increased sensitivity body is absorbing UV rays of sun and getting pigmented.Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cream rich in Azelaic acid or Kojic acid. Apply on face twice daily. It will lighten skin. Use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30. You can go for home remedy as well. Apply mashed potatoes on these pigments. Apply aloe vera gel it will resolve. apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil to lighten the pigments. You can visit dermatologist once and can go for chemical peeling or micro abrasion if your symptoms not resolving. Take supplements rich in vitamin C.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
