Hi, thanks for your query.

Aziderm contains azelic acid which is used in acne for anti bacterial properties and in hyper pigmentation as it reduces the synthesis of melanin which gives color to skin.

You basically have got your skin tanned in the sun due to long hour you spend out doors in the sun while playing football.

You may use aziderm cream at night but in addition you need strict sun protection measures by using a sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection.
Apply it at least half an hour before sun exposure. Repeat it every 3-4 hours.
Wear full clothes and hat while playing.
Take diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Take oral beta carotene, vitamin C and E supplements.

Aziderm is available in as 10, 15, 20 % strength.
You may start it after consulting a dermatologist because it can cause certain side effects and should be used under guidance.
This cream might not give you back your original complexion but will definitely make your skin lighter.

Hope this solves your query.
