Due to constant exposure to sunlight my skin got burnt not tanned and even darkened. how can it be cured and the previous color be regained ? pls help

See a dermatologist: Use sunscreen every am. The derm may give you hydroquinone with tretinoin. There are several creams and combinations used for this. You have a post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation common among people with darker skins. It will take a few months to achieve your goal.
