Hi,

You have facial melanosis. It may be due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, sun tanning,cosmetics and tension or stress. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

First of all,you stop skinlite cream which contains hydroquinone,a notorious toxic chemical. It causes various local side effects including confetti like discolouration.

You may apply Kojic acid containing gel daily at night. Protect the face with sun screen lotion during day time. Take vitamin C 1000 mg, glutathione tab 500 mg daily for long time. Cleanse the face with glycolic acid containing face wash.

Relax,avoid stress and tension. Take nutritious food and fruits.

I hope this would help.

Thanks.
