    My skin is really bad and ultra sensitive to the sun. help!
    I am 20 years oldI am really concerned for my skin.
    It is really bad and ultra sensitive to the sun. The moment I step out in the sun it gets tanned very badly. It gets tanned all over but there are certain specific areas ( like around the cheeks) that it tans the most. I have started using hydroquinone cream.

    It is really bad and I am really concerned about it. Tell me what is the cause of this hyperpigmentation. I have nevr seen a skin like this before. I cannot event step out in the sun. help me.:(

    The sun is the greatest contributor to hyperpigmentation of the skin. Excessive exposure to sunlight can cause some melanocytes to multiply, producing an uneven distribution of active melanocytes in the skin.

    Skin bleaching creams and mild acids such as glycolic, kojic and retinoic acid may help treat the hyperpigmentation. The best measure to keep the hyperpigmented area from becoming darker is to stay out of the sun and use a good quality "sun block".
