Reason For White Facial Skin After Sunburn?

my face has turned white after a sunburn last summer, my next is many shades darker and the area around my eyes is also darker. I have other white spots in the arm pit area, sides of my hips, shines of me legs, under part of my forearms. I have no insurance, is there any thing I can do on my own to help the situation?

Hello,

It is the due loss of melanin. Nothing much to worry and the skin will return to normal shade in a few weeks. If the healing is delayed you can consult a dermatologist for expert opinion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
