Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dark skin color which is due to hormonal changes, dehydration, stress and excessive melanin pigment produced by melanocytes . There are some factors which trigger melanocytes to produce more pigment which cause further darkening of skin. Need not to worry. You can start with melacare cream. I would suggest you to use cream containing kojic acid or azelaic acid , both are very good in treating dark complexion and safe for long term use. Beside that apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 to protect your skin from further darkening due to UV rays of sun. Aloe vera is natural product know for whitening of skin. If condition doesn't get better within a month then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation of condition . Doctor may recommend for chemical peeling or microdermabrasion .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
