Hello Mr.XXXXX,



First of all you should used a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF of 30. Apply it 15 min on the body areas exposed to Sun and reapply after 3 hours if you are again going out in the Sun.

You can use a mixture of raw milk with small quantity of fresh cream and rub on your hands for 2-3 min. As milk contains Lactic acid it is a natural exfoliant.

You can meet you dermatologist to help you make a decision if you need to be on chemical peels and lightening creams.
