Thank you for the question.

This is a difficult question to answer over the net as ideally one would like to examine the pigmentation and marks before deciding on the best treatment approach. Factors that caused the marks and your skin type will also play a role in how one treats or approaches the marks.

Your most important topical product is sunscreen that is applied several times daily. Together with this one should practice sun avoidance as much as possible irrespective of the weather. Your most important ingredients to help lighten dark marks is vitamin C in the morning and vitamin A or retinol applied in the evening.

My advice would be to see a dermatologist again so that you can discuss your history and so that they can examine the skin to guide you on the best approach.
