Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have hyper pigmented skin which is giving you darker appearance and tone, it occurs due to excessive sensitivity of body to sunlight. Your skin absorbs UV rays of sun and get hyper pigmented.
I would suggest you to avoid excessive sun exposure and if ever you have to go cover the areas of skin with damp cloth. Use Tan care which is a medicated cream specially for oily skin rich in SPF 25 as well. Use face wash rich in Kejoic or azealic acid as it will lighten your skin tone. Apply tea tree oil or apple cider vinegar on skin on daily basis with a cotton swab. Use of mashed potatoes on skin will give very instant effect as they will absorb all the dark pigmentation of skin.
Microabrasion and chemical peeling are other effective methods after proper examination by dermatologist.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
