Hi. Greetings. Tan can in most instances be cleared. Infact it reduces slowly over years if sun exposure is stopped. However, it can be taken care of in few weeks and months by use of sunscreens, peeling agents and chemical peels. Please see a qualified dermatologist in your city and he will guide you. Hope this helps. Warm regards. Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Excel care hospital, Bangalore.
