Sorry to know that you have been facing such an issue. There can be many reasons for such dark patches, including hormonal issues or even sun damage. So, knowing the reason is the first step towards the solution. Long term hydroquinone use is not recommended as it causes adverse effects.
Initially, it would be a good idea to just use a medicated sunscreen with an spf of 50.
Improving general health with fresh fruits and vegetables.
A check up by a dermatologist would be better than to continue self medication.
Hope this helps.
