Brief Answer:
Management of hyperpigmentation face

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply cream containing kojic acid on the affected dark areas twice daily.
Various preparations are available in the market like kojivit cream, kojiglo cream or clearz cream.
You can buy any of the above and apply it twice daily for 6-8 weeks.
Also use a sunscreen on the entire face during the daytime at intervals of 3-4 hours.
Besides this I also recommend my patients to take tablet tranxaemic acid 250 mg twice daily for 6-8 weeks.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
