A member asked:

What lotion do you recommend apart from bleach that will get rid of my skin discolouration caused from sun since august ? please help

Dr. John Chiu answered

Don't use bleach: Don't use bleach for your skin pigment changes. Sometimes retinoid type of cream may help and there are also prescription bleaching cream available. Intense pulse light (dermatologist) may also be effective.
