What Medication To Take To Make Skin Fair After Tanning And Pigmentation?

Hi , I am Saira here.
I am facing tanning and pigmentation on my face which led to wheatish complexion. I am not completely dark.
But is there any remedy to make my skin fair through any medication or even surgery. Please revert with the contact details of the doctors if possible.

Hi Saira. Thanks for posting in HCM.

Tanning and pigmentation is totally amenable to treatment with medicines.

I would advice that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen (minimum 30SPF) which offers protection against both UVB as well as UVA.

A Dermatologist would prescribe you demelanising creams which you can use regularly at home along with sunscreen OR can suggest you chemical peels for tanning/pigmentation(Chemical peeling is an office procedure) along with sunscreen.

I would advice that you consult a Dermatologist nearest to you.

take care
regards
