Pigmentation has many causes that can be ascertained only after examining the skin. However most important thing is avoidance of sun exposure and regular use of sunscreen. Rest of treatment can be done only after making proper diagnosis.

Agree with Dr Varun
Choose a sunscreen depending on skin type and level of sun exposure. Skin lightening treatments and Lasers are available at Dermatologist clinic. However they can be done only after evaluating type and cause of pigmentation.
