The only thing you can do is loofa, and that isn't really going to take it all off, but it will help it fade faster.\nI'm not sure bathing in peroxide, and alcohol is wise.  I think it will really dry out your skin.

If it bothers you, you should see another dermatologist. Tetracylin is really side-effect ridden drug, I have brown patches on MY TEETH from my mum taking it when she was pregnant with me. \n\nThere are lotions etc, available which can lighten the skin... but in the mean time, as it may be patches of melanin (what makes your skin tan) make sure you ALWAYS wear sunscreen, even on days when it's raining. Vit A (especially at Roaccutane levels) can leave the skin very sensitive to light.\n\nAs a very quick solution, probably it's best to get a really good cosmetic concealer. There's a sort which is used for birthmarks or burns - ask a cosmetologist.  That's not a long term solution though it may help you feel better in the meantime.\n\nYou don't have to live with this, and while you may not trust professionals, keep getting second opinions until you find something that works for you.\n\nGood luck!

There is a bleach product that lightens skin available from beauty stores. they also do butt bleaching at some salons to rid of dark skin on butt and body.look it up on internet.

Get a cream with hydroquinone or kojic acid -it will lighten them. Laser can get rid of them altogether.

First run cold water over it or put ice on. This will numb it a bit. then you can put some numbing cream or gel on if you want maximum releif. You can also put on the gel that goes on sunburns. That works really well.

Use whitening Deoderant?\n\n\nApply watered down bleach 3-4 times a week.

lotion with bronzer in it will make it seem like your skin is really darker than it is, so when the bronze washes away (approx. 5 days) you'll be like wow, wheres my good tan? Hopefully you put on a tanning sticker so you can see when your tan begins fading back to your skin color :)

well, now that we know how harmfull the sun is to the skin you should check out all the great self tanners that are out on the market.  I've tried coppertone (with the 2 chambers), vichy, ombrelle..... they're all great!  The only thing that you have to look out for is to match you're skin tone. If your skin is very fair, go for a medium tan, (you could end up looking a bit on the orange side) but it you have a darker skin you can opt for the dark tan. Just make sure you exfoliate your skin before you tan and you'll be glowing in no time!\nHope this helps,\nJocelyne

squeeze some lemon juice (the natural one right from a real fresh lemon) and rub some salt into it and leave it for a few minutes in the sun. Then wash it off with warm water.\n\nThis only works if you haven't yet used any detergent on the stain, of course.

Try the Jan Brady approach- rub on some lemon juice! \n\nI don't think that it is possible to remove them on your own.  Maybe speak with a dermatologist about it.

Go to the dermantoligist. They have machines that can just zap them away. This may sound perfect but there is a downside it hurts and its very expensive.

cocoa butter lotion seems to do the trick.  Just apply it nightly or daily and it should go away eventually.

You could try some of the instant tanning creams. They are not as messy as makeup, and look more natural.
