what is your skin type - very fair like western or wheatish like most of Indians ..?
U are mentioning both hypo pigmentation and dark spots .
for treating hypo pigmented ( whitish) patches you need some melanin producing drugs and 10-15 minutes sun exposure daily. tab methoxasalane 10 mg or melgain lotion once at night and 10 minutes sun exposure in morning .
phototherapy / targeted laser phototherapy is also effective.
there are some natural melanin producing compounds also - you can try Vitix gel or tab pigmento ( Ayurvedic) two tablets twice daily . you need to give a time of 1-3 months for repigmentation.
for Dark Spots use sunscreen 3 hourly. and combination of vit c ,Kojic acid , liquorice extract cream. twice daily.
