Hi,
From history it seems that due to day travel under sun light you got this tanning.
Take full precautions to cover your expose body parts with clothes or dupatta.
Apply sun cream lotion before going out.
Use Kojic acid soap or lotion on your affected parts.
Take plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
