Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed tanning.
It happens due to strong ultraviolet rays in sunlight.
I treat such cases with a topical skin lightening cream like kojic acid to be applied in night and a sunscreen to be applied in morning.
This combination works well and is safe and effective.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
I find this answer helpful
