Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You could use demelan cream to lighten the acquired tanning.
However, the most important treatment would be a sunscreen. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen every 3-4 hours.
You could also get glycolic acid based peels done by a dermatologist.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
