One of the best ways to treat these spots are lightening creams with hydroquinones combined with chemical peels.  Please consult a dermatologist who has expertise with pigmentation and peels for the best cosmetic results.

This is likely a combination of a few things, there arent many good treatments for this given that you sit alot and wont change that going forward.  Chemical peels along with lightening creams and shower scrubs will be helpful.  I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist who has expertise in treating pigmentation.  Best, Dr. Emer.
