Hello,

Thanks for writing here.

It seems you are having sun allergy.

This has lead to tanning and blackening of face.

Apply a good sunscreen at day time.

Cover your face while in out doors.

You need to apply a combination of kojic acid and vitamin c cream at night time.

You can also apply a mild steroid like desonide over affected area for 1 to 2 weeks.

If no response then you can go for chemical peels.You need to consult a dermatologist for it.

Hope this will solve your problem.Take care.
