Hi
it is common to experience darkening of the skin over the exposed areas because of chronic exposure to the sun. Please use sunscreen and also wear clothing to cover the arms when going out. This needs to be done on a regular basis so that the skin can regain the colour. Please eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Also you can try meeting a dermatologist who can advise you on creams to lighten the skin as well
