It's POST INFLAMMATORY HYPERPIGMENTATION.. it is due to repeated applications of different topicals and was doing more number of times of fascials in Beauty centers will lead to this stage. And exaggerated by sun exposure. Fractional resurfacing LASER is the best option. Tab L Glutathione 500 mg with Vitamin C alternatively for 6 weeks will give good result Chemical peels...by experienced and skilled hands with systematic follow ups will achieve desired results.
