Suggest Medication For Dark Patches In Cheeks And Nose

Hello Dr. I have been suffering from dark patches on my cheeks and nose for 5 years now. I have tried home remedies from lemon juice, turmeric, cucumber and even Ayuverdic creams but these marks wont go away. I use sun block sfp50 before sun exposure every day. I have read a lot about Kojic and Hydroquinone lightening creams. My skin is very sensitive and I fear that if I use such creams I may end up increasing the sizes of the patches. Please help. Atieno

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem if your skin is sensitive and you fear for Hydroquinone then there is option for you just leave it like that only this could go away with the time, at the most you can use any cosmetic, eat healthy have good sleep (7 hours ) hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
