Suggest Treatment For Sun Tan
Hi, My name is Ashesh and my age is 27. I went to Goa three years back for 10 days summer vacation. Due to excess hot climate, I have got sun tan on my fore head and the the upper side of my cheek. It doesn t look good. I have tried parlor facial and brite night skin cream but unfortunately there is no result. I request you to please suggest me a effective remedy without side-effects. Regards Ashesh

Hi,
I can understand your concern for marks. These marks can be due activity of melanocytes in the superficial epidermal layer of skin or due to sun tanning also.
Lightening agents such as Kojic acid or azelaic acid cream application which you can use under dermatological guidance. So considering the above facts you can apply these cream but only under dermatological supervision.
The most important part in treatment is by sun protection by all measures. Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem of pigmentation can be dealt best for future time. Eat healthy diet containing lot of Vitamin A and Vitamin C.
Take care
