Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain first thing that I would like to tell you is that lightening of skin complexion is possible in case if you had a lighter skin complexion previously and is darkened due to some reasons like sun tanning or other causes..
You can first of all start taking topical treatment like washing your face with salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash..
You can apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin containing facewash..
Apply Vitamin E containing gels at night..
You can also apply azelic acid preparations..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week..
Avoid sun exposure and always apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
You can take Vitamin C supplements..
You can go for treatments like Microdermabrasion, chemical peeling and photofacial..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
