Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pigmentation on cheeks and nose. Well there can be many reasons for hyper pigmentation like over exposure to sunlight, hormonal changes and side effect of medicine. You should start with glyaha hq lotion which contains glycolic acid and hydroquinone , which are good for treating hyperpigmentation , But hydroquinone has side effects when use for long term , so its important get it prescribed from dermatologist. Drink plenty of water. I would suggest you to wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice daily and then apply kojic acid cream which is safe and effective . Exfoliate your skin once a week to remove dead skin .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
