Looks like u have Melasma from the information u provided. Exposure to UV radiation heat, visible light and taking certain drugs all appear to play roles. Need to find out ur cause so kindly send me clinical photographs for online consultation. There are existing treatments which lighten the skin by reduction of melanin pigment in skin.
Next Steps
Use a sunscreen with spf of atleast 30 both indoor and outdoor
