Dear Pt, I guide to start sun care even from childhood. But its a good sign that uve finally started taking ur largest organ of body you are serious then its imp to have a proper consult either live or online that u can book via Marham. As need to see, and discuss options. I WONT recommend IV injections that ppl are giving as NOT approved by FDA. so a consult is required to guide wht you need to get a neat, clean, healthy glow.

I have suggested what needs to be done, can't act like a quack. Need a consult in which I' to see, ideally examine. Things don't get better or ppl create false/ unrealistic expectations because they don't understand importance of a proper in depth consult & keep trying for easy remedies and off counter easy products and in reality they are not doing good to themselves. I hope it clarifies my concerns of not doing consult on such forum.

First of all you must cover your face and forearms when you are out of the building during daylight hours. You have strictly avoid exposure to direct and indirect sunlight. When inside a building make sure direct sunlight does not in the room.

Strictly avoid eating spinach (palak).

Don't apply any sunscreens because in most people it darkens the skin. In fact try not to apply moisturizers as well during the daytime because certain chemicals in them makes your skin sensitive to the UV light.

Regarding treatment, you can go for chemical peel like Neostrata's Glycolic Acid peel, or PRP or microneedling.

Even if you do not opt for the above treatments, just don't use any of the bleaching creams. Your skin color will become darker.

If you want to learn more about the treatments, please visit my clinic and I will be happy to details of all the above mentioned treatments.

Regards

Thanks Dr :) but isn't microneedling used for scar removal? Will it be helpful in skin lighting? I am confused :/

Yes you are absolutely right. Besides scar treatment it is also employed for pigmentation, skin brightening, under eye dark circles, tear troughs. It will depend on what medicine I am using with microneedling.
