Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries regarding the skin color of your daughter. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
Take Aloe Vera plant, cut it and peel off its skin. Now mesh in ur fingers and make little swabs and rub it over the face. Its best natural desquamation remedy. Use Retinoin cream daily twice. Apply SPF60 Sunscreen lotion whenever going out. Give her plenty of fluids.
May your daughter get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful' & give a five Stars too. Write a review about your experience with me.
