I got hyperpigmentation suddenly when I was doing my 10th standard and I still don't know as to what kind of hyperpigmentation it is. I also don't know the reason for my cause of hyperpigmentation. It is really a concern when anything bad appears on the face and I'm also not an exception to it. I'm also losing my confidence bcoz of this. I've got it around my mouth (like dark circles that surrounds my mouth), neck then under my nose, armpits and between my thighs. I don't want to go to beauty parlours or doctors bcoz I'm afraid that if they could still worsen my face. Currently, I'm taking home treatment like mixing lime juice with honey & as scruber I use the paste of rice powder and curd, I got these tips from the Internet only. I've started all these only 2 weeks ago and I find some improvement. Can I continue with these or swtich over to some other? It would be nice if you could tell me some other herbal home treatment that will be very effective. Is sunscreen lotion required?

Hyperpigmentation is usually caused by hormones. Have you recently had a baby or are you pregnant? If your present treatments are working for you, I would continue them. Buttermilk and lemon juice are said to have a mild bleaching effect. There are herbal remedies in some of the health food catalogues, that gradually bleach the skin. They use cojic acid instead of hydroquinone, which is commonly found in non-herbal remedies. Cojic acid is used primarily for fading age spots, but it could also work for the discolorations. It is mild and won't irritate the skin. You might also check with a dermatologist. They use lasers which are safe, and especially formulated to even out the skin tone. Good luck!
