The pigmentation seen on your mom’s face appears to be melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Over-the-counter creams like Skarfix may not be strong enough alone.
Next Steps
She’ll need a dermatologist-prescribed depigmenting cream (with ingredients like hydroquinone, tretinoin, or kojic acid) for visible results, used with strict sun protection.
Health Tips
Continue sunscreen daily and avoid home remedies. A proper online consult will help choose the safest and most effective regimen.
