See a doctor for your skin problem, sounds like you need something for your specific problem.  A dermatologist will be able to help you.

I know.  I've had this before when I was younger.\n\nThis is an allergy to the sun.  You got too much sun exposure and you don't have enough vitamin A and E in your system.\n\nFirst, Start taking some multi-vitamins that contain vitamins E and A.  Do not take mega amounts, because they (especially Vitamin A) can be toxic to your liver if you overdo it.  They are not water soluble, so you cannot piss them out by drinking lots of water.)\n\nAlso please get out of the sun for a few days until the bumps go away. If you must go out in the sun cover your face with a strong sun block and wear a hat. Some make up has sun block built into it, but I doubt it will cover the bumps because they are raised and like little blisters.\n\nIf you do not really have sun bumps, other possibilities are poison ivy, German measles (don't get near any pregnant women) or an allergic rash to something else.\n\nHope this helps.

Whatever you may try to remove them if the root is STRESS they will come back. Personally, my dermatologist told me to find an hobby or a sport to release the stress which is causing those. Then, to remove the stains, of any, you can also use a cream with glycolic acid (not to be exposed to the sun light..so use it at home for one or two hours and then wash it away before going out, or put it at night).

it sounds like a form of eczema.  go get some hydrocortizone cream from the pharmacy (they sell it over the counter).  it should help it clear up.  if it doesnt go away from that, you may need a stronger dose, which you can only get to a doctor.  also, since there are little heads in it, i would suggest something with a little sulfur in it.  that will help your body learn to fight it. \nbut, it may just be an allergic reaction to the soap you are using.  stop using the soap you have, and if that doesnt work, try the above suggestions.  if you have any more questions, feel free to IM or message me.  good luck

if you have gone to doctors and they can't treat it, describe it, diagnosis it, etc...then think about getting another doctor! try a dermatologist.

ok is it hyperpigmentation(darkening) or hypopigmentation(whitening) you havent mentioned?? i presume it to be hyper cos u very well know bout MELATONIN ...yes that is the pigment present in skin... the pattern involving nose then spreading to cheeks is rather disturbing specially if you r a female and i recommend that u show to a good dermatologist or medicine doctor it might be SLE but u better confirm first before gettin trippy.... HQ-5 lotion by Debut Pharmaceuticals helps but u must first show to a dermatologist....

You really do need to see a doctor for this, to rule out any serious conditions.  \n\nIt may very well be you are just extra-sensitive to the sun, and to heat.  Some people are, regardless of race.  Also, if you are on any medications, ask your pharmacist if any of them might cause an increased sensitivity to sunlight/heat.\n\nOne reason you need to see a doctor is that a disease called Lupus makes people very sun-sensitive.  There are other symptoms involved as well, and a doctor will be able to tell you if you have it or not.  If you do, it is important to have appropriate ongoing treatment so it doesn't get worse and so that it affects your life as little as possible.  If your doctor determines you do not have lupus, s/he will at the least be able to give suggestions for enduring hot sunny weather more comfortably.

Get a cream with hydroquinone or kojic acid -it will lighten them. Laser can get rid of them altogether.

hmmm. It sounds like an allergic reaction to UV rays, meaning photo-sensitivity. I'm mildly photosensitive and I get the same kind of rash if I go out with out the SPF50 sunscreen than my doctor recommended. Give up on tanning and talk to your doctor. It sounds like you're photosensitive.

haha this was just asked i thought.  I get the same problem on my upper arms bro, coco butter lotion W/ vitemin E twice a day when you get up and when you go to sleep every day.  It will take the color out of the marks and if they're smaller make em heal away.

I HAD THIS SAME THING!  ugh, its so annoying, haha.  its probably really dry skin or a harmless fungus.  what i did was use a moisturizer daily and about every other day i put on hydrocortisone (ointment for dry skin) and tolnaftate (an anti-fungal cream).  both of these you can get over the counter at your local pharmacy and are safe and effective to use.  after a month or so i still have some SLIGHT discoloring, but it is not nearly as noticable as it was before and no longer bothers me.  i also got a tan, too, which might have helped!  if this doesn't work, you will probably have to see a doctor or a dermatologist to get a stronger cream or different diagnosis.
