Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

You could use demelan cream to lighten the acquired tanning.

However, the most important treatment would be a sunscreen. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen every 3-4 hours.

You could also get glycolic acid based peels done by a dermatologist.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
