Hello;
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I guess you are having some patches as a result of hyperpigmentation of skin.
What you are talking about could be either melasma or some other sort of pigmentation.
In any case local application will not help much but you can try Hydroquinone containing ointment which may lighten the patches.
It will help to certain extent but it is better to get treated by a Dermatologist.
Take care.
Thanks
