Kindly attach the picture. There are many reasons for getting pigmentation few are internal like related to hormones and genetic and few external like excess sun exposure, pollution, using OTC cosmetic products for longer time. It’s important to find out the cause and then treat it accordingly then only result will come and also will last for a long.

Kojic is a good cream. But that may not be enough. You need sunscreens as well as other combinations depending on severity of your condition. Some oral medications too could be added.
Kindly do an online consultation for better further discussion and prescription.
