A member asked:
I have light brown asian skin, recently i went in the sun, jogging + got pigment marks on my skin, now using sun block but when will marks fade?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, with time: It will take time, may be even a few months for the pigmentation from sun exposure to lighten up. Use sun screen as you have started doing and if feasible, keep the area covered to avoid incidental sun exposure. I would recommend that you take supplemental vitamin D3 at a does of about 2000 units/day.
