Hi, Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HCM. It appears from your query that your pigmentation can be either due to simple tanning part or the other important cause is known as lichen amyloidosis . If it is due to simple tanning then your cream - Hyclean would be beneficial to improve the pigmentation. It contains sunscreen and skin bleaching agents so giving you dual benefit. It is to be applied thinly, preferably at night time but can be applied at day time also. One pea size amount over the finger tip is sufficient for palm size of skin. Do not rub it over the affected area or direct exposure to sun, otherwise can cause irritation. If it is lichen amyloidosis then all the treatments actually are less effective. You take guidance from your dermatologist regarding exact cause of the pigmentation. She would guide you for the same. It has to be applied at least for 2-3 months to see visible results. There are many a treatments available but before that we need to clarify the exact cause. Along with it eat a lot of vitamin C and Vitamin A containing fruits and present sun exposure. Hope these informations will help. With good health wishes Dr Sanjay Kumar Kanodia MD (Dermatology)
