You might be having skin condition called melasma...It presenst as brown patch over the face most commonly the central face with a tendency to increase over sunexposure....
First of all you have to take a good photoprotection with a broadspectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or more on a daily basis...
In the night you can use a depigmenting agent like hydroquinone2-4% cream over your pigmented area for 3 weeks..
Increase intake of fruits and veg. rich in essential vitamins and minerals...
This would help...thanks
