Hi there,
Thanks for posting here.
You appear to have a post inflammatory hyperpigmentation on face.
Avoid bleaches as they may cause more damage.
Use a good suscreen with SPF30 daily morning. you can use a mild skin lightening cream containing vitamin c and kojic acid at night.
Take care.Hope this helps you.
