Regarding black spots on face
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
Could be Dermatosis papulosis nigra which are small, XXXXXXX to brown, raised lesions on malar region of face. They may gradually increase in number .There may be a family history of similar lesions in other members like parents and siblings. However, I have not received the images. I request you to kindly upload the images again so that I am able to confirm and guide you accordingly.
Take care. Hope to assist you further.
