Hi doctor.a month back i went to the beach and i think the water was not clean because of which my hands,face and neck,the body parts which are not covered with clothes have become dark and i am worried about the same.Kindly let me know what kind of creams or lotions i can use to get rid of the same.
I would say that you developed Suntan, as a result of being under the strong sun, on a beach.
It would have been better if you would have used a sunscreen while on the beach.
Even now, I would suggest you to use a broad spectrum sunscreen, that which offers both UV B as well as UV A protection, throughout the day, on the exposed parts. A sunscreen with minimum SPF 30 is considered to be good.
A skin lightening cream containing kojic acid 2% can be used once or twice daily, to get rid of the tan.
regards
