I have dark patches on my skin which is because of hyperpigmentation. It's been 8-10 years since I'm facing this problem. What can I do to lighten these spots? And how can hyperpigmentation be treated?

Hyperpigmentation can have many causes and most of which are treatable and hyperpigmentation can at least be reduced in it's intensity . treatment depends on the cause and ranges from sunscreens, other creams, chemical peels and lasers. You need to see a dermatologist to decide on which would be the best for you.
