How To Get Rid Of Black Dark Patches On My Nose?
Hi I am a 58 year old female and have no apparent medical issues but over the last week or so dark/black patches have appeared near my eyes(actually on my nose). They actually look as though I have had a couple of punches to my face. Other than feeling tired and a bit "down" no other symptoms. Thank you for your time. Norah J

Hi
You seem to be developing melasma over face which is basically a pigmentation disorder .
Since it is only beginning to develop , you need to take proper treatment to prevent it's further progression .
You need to apply a topical skin lightening agent like kojivit cream over the affected areas twice a day .
In addition, you should use a sunscreen regularly before going out in the sun .
