Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red spots turned into brown patches on forehead. It could be due to chemical reaction , post inflammatory hyper pigmentation and sun burn. I would suggest you to apply hydroquinone cream , which will also very effective in decreasing pigment , protect your skin from sun exposure and use sunscreen with SPF 50 , apply tertenoin gel or cream which will help to remove dead skin , also apply kojic acid cream twice a day after washing face. Drink plenty of water and eat fresh green leafy vegetable.If condition persists for more then few weeks then consult dermatologist. Doctor may suggest for chemical peeling , prescribe retinoids along with vitamin E supplement.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
