Hi
Thanks for your query

I understand your concern regarding the hyperpigmented patch over your face.
You are using melaglow cream over your face. It is a lightening agent containing natural ingredients and is an effective lightening agent.
You can continue to apply the same over your face.. In addition, you should take oral vitamin c supplementation . Use a sunscreen lotion over the affected area everytime before going out in sun. Apply the sunscreen atleast 20 minutes before sun exposure. All this will prevent any further increase in skin pigmentation due to sun exposure.
In addition, take a diet rich in fresh fruits and salads containing high quantity of vitamins and antioxidants which will hasten the process of skin recovery.

Hope it helps
