Take control of your own skin! Pigmentation can take months to resolve with proper treatment, so, the earlier you start the better. There are many options to help fade those dark marks. But, you need to know what will be safe and what can cause undue damage.
Read below for some treatment methods for your skin and how to avoid any possible side effects.

Sun block and sun avoidance
The number one cause of pigmentation is the sun. UV rays from the sun stimulate melanocytes, the pigment producing cells of the skin, to create melanin, or dark pigment.The sun in India is very strong, making it even more important to avoid the sun.

Choose the right sunscreen
Make sure you stay out of the sun as much as possible and cover exposed areas. Also wear sun block or sunscreen. As both UVA and UVB rays cause pigmentation problems, it is important to use a sunscreen that contains protection against both these types of sunrays. Look for SPF 30 for UVB protection and ++ for UVA protection to ensure you get the optimal effect from your sun block. Also, make sure you reapply your sunscreen every 3-4 hours as they start to lose effect over time.
