There are pigments on my forearms, neck, face and lower legs (basically a tan). This darkening has been there for many years now. I want to know about some effective treatments to fade the darkening completely and even my skin tone. I have been using a number of natural remedies and a lightening cream with kojic acid and arbutin for over a month now yet the results are not visible. Also, the unexposed body parts: chest, abdominal area, back and feet in my case have darkened which is strange for me. So, I would also like to know the cause of this unusual darkening and its treatments. I was born quite fair and want to regain that fair complexion if possible.
