Hi Doctor..I am a working girl and due to regular exposure on sun while travelling to work, my skin tone has tanned..however i use sunscreen with spf 50 on my face and hands, still i can notice my skin turning darker day by day. Can you suggest me any medicine or soap which will help me lighten my skin tone back to normal? Thank you

Sunscreen needs to be reapplied frequently. Wear full sleeves clothes. Tablets will require prescription. We can do peels to remove existing tan. Take care. Stay healthy. Regards, Dr. Jolly Shah DNB Dermatology, Mumbai.
