Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hyperpigmentation on the cheek which seems to be due to allergic reaction to any ingradient of ointment. I would suggest you to wash your face with mild soap twice a day and apply kojivit cream , exfoliate your skin twice a week and apply vitamin E oil at night before going to bed . Also protect your skin from excess sun exposure as it can worsen the condition . It condition doesn't get improved in a month then consult dermatologist again for proper examination . Doctor may recommend chemical peeling or dermabrasion depending upon the severity of condition .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
