Hi there

 

Is it facial hair or are you talking about hyperpigmentation (darkening) of your skin?

 

Have you read the following?

How do I get rid of the brown spots on my face?

 

A Dermatologist Answers Your Skin Care Questions:  How to Get Rid of Brown Spots

 

Have you seen a doctor or dermatologist?  Could the brown spot be melasma?  Are you taking any medications including birth control pills which can sometimes trigger hyperpigmentation for some women?

 

Have you tried any bleaching creams? 

 

I would strongly suggest that you get your skin checked by a dermatologist so he or she can tell you the best way to get rid of the hyperpigmentation. 

 

Thank you for your question.
