I've been struggling with really bad tanning on my forehead for a while now. I've tried a bunch of things like kojic acid creams, Sabiglow, and I've even had a yellow peel done. I've also been taking Pinodin G for a couple of months. Right now, I'm using Tazret cream as recommended by my dermatologist, but honestly, I haven't noticed any difference. I work from home, so I'm not out in the sun much, but I still apply a light sunscreen. Can you suggest any effective anti-tanning creams, scrubs, or face packs? I'm really looking for something that works.

That could be a condition called Acanthosis where hyperpigmentation is the symptom,if your over wt wt loss would help for this condition,visit your dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management.

Understanding Tanning and Its Causes
- Tanning can occur due to indirect UV exposure, even indoors. Sunscreen may not fully prevent it if not applied correctly or frequently.
-
Review of Current Treatments
- Kojic acid, Sabiglow, yellow peel, Pinodin G, and Tazret cream are common treatments. Lack of results may be due to skin type or insufficient duration.
-
Recommendations for Effective Anti-Tanning Measures
- Ensure consistent use of broad-spectrum sunscreen. Consider adding Vitamin C serums, niacinamide, or azelaic acid to your routine.
-
Role of Exfoliation and Face Packs

When to Consult a Dermatologist Again
