Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you have symptoms of hyper-pigmentation on face as your skin is extremely sensitive and it leads to absorption of pigments in sun specially on sun exposure.

Need to worry about anything. Avoid excessive exposure to sun light and it ever you have to go cover your face with wet cloth. Apply medicated sun screen TAN CARE rich in Spf 30. Use meta-rub to remove pigmentation from face as face wash. Use lightening cream rich in kojic acid at night time and rich in azealic acid at day time to completely get rid of pigments. Don't use chemical rich face wash and steroids on your face as it will cause darkening effect.

To prevent dryness and pigmentation apply mashed potatoes on face for 15 mins daily. Take cotton swab dipped in tea tee oil and apply on face as it will lighten skin color.

Drink plenty of water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
