Hi , there are treatments to remove the pigmentation permanently, ranging from creams to chemical peels. But the first step for you is to start using a broad spectrum sunscreen.
Next Steps
Discuss with your dermatologist regarding the options for your skin type.
Health Tips
Avoid over the counter depigmenting creams.

Outdoor activities make our skin tan. The only option is to wear protective full sleeves clothing and cover as much as possible. Usage of a cap or hat and umbrella is encouraged. Skin already tanned can be treated with de-pigmenting creams and other oral medications. A good skin care regimen comprises 4 steps - cleansing, toning, moisturizing and sun block.Based on your skin type, a dermatologist will recommend you appropriate products
