Brief Answer:
Use sunscreen and cream containing kojic acid
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply cream containing kojic acid on the affected areas twice daily in the morning and at night.
To prevent future tanning and to correct the existing one apply a water resistant sunscreen like suncros aquagel or photostable gel 15-20 minutes before going for swimming.
This should be repeated after every 3-4 hours during the day time.
Also avoid direct sun exposure. Make use of cap, umbrella, sunglasses whenever out in the sun.
