Hi Dear

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern.

Dark pigmentation on skin, neck and arms is not because of any hormonal imbalance or hyperpigmentation as it is not there on whole body rather it is only on the areas which are exposed to UV rays of sunlight.

I think this is a case of sunburn/ tanning. I would suggest you to use medicated cream known as TAN CARE as this will give you better protection against sunlight. Use metarub as well for deeper cleaning.

Try to cover these area whenever you exposed to sunlight. At home you should use mashed potatoes and apply on these areas for 15 min. Antioxidants such as papaya is also very effective for the same.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr.Harry Maheshwari
