Dermatologist,  's  Response
Thank you for query. please avoid any fairness/cosmetic creams as Cosmetics do more harm than good .wash face regularly atleast 2 times a day with gentle cleansers like cetaphil.do not rub or use harsh soap as it can exacerbate pigmentation.you can use sunscreens in the day time at least 3 -4 times a day which also helps in preventing sun tanning. Sunscreens protect from pigmentation if used atleast 2-3 times per day.Mild keratolytics like salicylic acid, depigmentation agents like Kojic acid and Hydroquinone can be used if need be under supervision of dermatologist.You can get back to me for any clarifications .Dr Bharatesh
