Hi there Mr. XXXXXXX
I notice you say black patches both sides face not responding to sunscreens & moisturisers. Is it possible please for you to upload some 2-3 good quality clear photographs in natural light? If you have someone to help you will be nice. It is easy to upload using the 'upload data' icon & if any difficulties, please contact our XXXXXXX staff. Cheers.
P.S. Being sexually active or not does not have a bearing on these patches nor does your mood for an erection. It is a different issue unrelated to the black patches. Good Luck & await your photographs.
