As the cause of pigmentation is not known at present, I can't suggest you any treatment options. Common causes are melasma and post acne marks however to be certain please seek help from a qualified dermatologist. Meanwhile stay away from direct sunlight and cover your face. Use sunscreen daily. Hope this helps. Warm regards, Dr Pinanky Jadhav, Eternis Skin & Hair Clinic, Pune
