Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of black discoloration, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with SPF more than 30.
2. Apply a kojic acid cream like kojivit twice daily on it.
3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
