Patchyness in arms and legs

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

From last few years I have seen that my hands and legs have developed sun burn like patches. My complexion is fair but the darkening of my arms and legs are worrying me. I consulted a dermatologist and she prescribed a SPF 50 sunscreen. But I don't think its a case of sunburn as the patches are not like sunburn. Can this be due to vitamin deficiency?
