Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

-It is advisable to use a Broad Spectrum sunscreen with both UV A and UV B protection, throughout the day OR whenever stepping out in the sun.

-A skin lightening cream at night containing one or more of the following ingredients like kojic acid, hydroquinone, glycolic acid, arbutin, tetrahydrocurcumin, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate OR liquorice extract etc would help to gradually lighten the pigmentation.

I also advice Glycolic peeling sessions once every 2 weeks in my patients. Taking a series of these sessions brings about significant improvement in pigmentation

take care
regards
