Sun tan on my face - no improvement

2025-05-03 14:46:56
"Hello Doctor, I have a lot of sun tan on my face. I have been staying indoors for about 1 month, with no direct sun exposure. There is no improvement till now. After a lot of past sun exposure, my face has become sensitive. I am not using any medical creams currently. There is no pain or itching, only tanning. Kindly suggest a safe treatment to remove the tan."

You’re likely experiencing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or persistent facial tanning due to cumulative sun exposure. Sensitivity without active inflammation suggests epidermal tanning rather than deep melasma or photodermatoses.
Next Steps
Start with a gentle depigmenting regimen: Sunscreen (SPF 50+, PA+++) twice daily—even indoors. At night, apply azelaic acid 10–15% or kojic acid + niacinamide combo cream. Gentle exfoliation (lactic/glycolic acid-based cleanser) twice a week may help. Avoid harsh scrubs or lightening creams with steroids or hydroquinone without supervision.
Health Tips
Improvement may take 4–8 weeks. Prioritize skin barrier repair (ceramide moisturizers) and continue strict photoprotection. A dermatologist-guided consult can help escalate to chemical peels or prescription actives if needed.

A clinic evaluation is required to know the skin type. Treatments available depending of severity. Medical history and underlying condition needs to be ruled out. You can consult online or visit us at our clinic. Thank you.
