Hi.
As per your case history you are having tanning of skin. It occurs due to repeated sun exposure.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Apply a mild depigmenting cream like kojivit twice daily on dark skin.
3. Other treatment options are topical hydroquinone, tretinoin, steroid, chemical peels used only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
