Hi....you got sunburn marks on your face...
Whenever the skin get burn the superficial layer peeld off...this layer contains melanine..so after sunburn this area became light colour...then when it is exposed to sun again there is melanine deposition but this time it is in the excess form..so the burnt area is darker then the normal area...thats why its important to use sunblock after sunburn to prevent darkning..in your case its already over...now you should consult some laser therapist having appropriate laser...he can help you...thanks
