Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of facial and neck hyperpigmentation which is because of sensitivity of your skin to ultraviolet rays of sun. Melanocytes of skin start producing more pigment production and leads to brownish pigmentation of skin. I would suggest you to avoid exposure to sun whenever possible and if you have to go out cover your skin with wet cloth and apply medicated sunscreen TAN CARE on skin rich in spf 30. Orange pulpy peel is effective antioxidant to prevent dark areas.Use creams rich in kojic acid at night time and rich in azelaic acid at day time. Drink plenty of water and fluids to nourish body and keep hydrated yourself. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. If you need chemical treatment go for chemical abrasion and peeling. Laser therapy is another effective way of regaining natural skin color.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
