1. since there is post inflammatory hyper pigmentation, in best Interest it will be wise to see a Dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.
2. stay away from the sun during peak hours [11 AM to 4 PM] or ensure a good sunscreen applied on the area to limit damages.
. wash your face with Besan and luke warm water after coming from outside (best natural bleaching agent), removing excess sebum and dead skin cells, and acts as a deep cleanser.
3. Potato acts as a very good bleaching agent, this would lighten the marks.
4. Take two spoonful of gram flour, add a pinch of turmeric, few drops of lemon juice and make a paste with a spoonful of curd. Apply this pack regularly and you will notice drastic changes.
5. Make a mixture of tomato juice and lemon juice, apply this mixture daily with a cotton ball. It lightens the skin tone and marks.
6.
i. Use fresh vegetables and fruits, stay hydrated (drink 10-15 glasses of water/ day)
ii. Avoid: Sugar (in any form), caffeine, cheese, oily-spicy-dry-fried food, chocolates, cakes, iodized salt, soft drinks.
iii. Avoid exposure of the skin to severe climatic conditions.

PS.
. To get proper result, you are suggested to use any cream for 3 to 4 months
. You may ask for Prescription Drugs, maily: aloe vera cream, kumkumadi oil, khadira arishta,saariva assav.
