[|AI|]  Hi John, Thanks for writing in.  You seem to have plasma. For pigmentation as a general rule-Avoid sun exposure Use a good sunscreen of SPF 30 and repeat application every 3 to 4 hours Take antioxidant and vitamin C supplements. Eraser is used for scar treatment. Better avoid it. You can apply Designer cream at nighttime over the affected area.  You need to consult a dermatologist as dermatology being a visual field, the cause for your pigmentation and the treatment required can only be suggested after proper skin examination.  Treatments like chemical peeling will be very helpful. Discuss these option with your dermatologist.  Take care.  Chat Doctor.
