Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain hair removal has caused allergic reaction on face and discolouration seems to be due to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation..
You can wash your face with Salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash, apply kojic acid , glycolic acid and arbutin containing creams..
Apply Vitamin E oil at night..
Exfoliate your skin with a gentle face scrub..
Wash your face multiple times a day..
Limit sun exposure and always apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Take Vitamin C supplements..
Go for regular facials like Photoacial and other treatments like Microdermabrasion, glycolic peels and dermal rollers..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
