Hi Dear

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have discoloration of face after using tanning lotion which is not because of any hormonal imbalance or hyperpigmentation. it seem sto be due to exposure to UV rays of sunlight. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to use medicated cream known as TAN CARE as this will give you better protection against sunlight. Use metarub as well for deeper cleaning. Try to cover these area whenever you exposed to sunlight. At home you should use mashed potatoes and apply on these areas for 15 min. Antioxidants such as papaya is also very effective for the same.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr.Harry Maheshwari
