Brief Answer:
Pigment reducing cream in addition to sunscreen and tablets
Detailed Answer:
Hello.Thank you for writing to us
I am Dr. Kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern
I suggest you to use a pigment reducing cream/ demelanising cream in addition to a sunscreen.
You may use either Demelan cream (glycolic acid, kojic acid and arbutin) Or Glyco-A 12% cream (glycolic acid), once daily at night over the affected areas. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen during the day i.e the one with spf 30 or more so as to protect against both UV A as well as UV B part of the the electromagnetic spectrum. You may also take a tablet of Melano-Tx (Proanthocynadin+tranexamic acid), twice daily for 3 months.
These are prescription medications and I suggest that you use them under supervision of a dermatologist in your vicnity.
Regards
