Hello, Welcome to healthcare magic
From your description it could be fixed drug eruptions to some medicines you took during eye treament or something called Lichen planus pigmentosus.
I would recommend you to consult a dermatologist if you have not consulted one for accurate diagnosis. A skin biopsy will help in case of doubt.
Both conditions will take time for improvement ranging from months to years.
Hope this helped.
Take care
