Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurrent black skin patches on face. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like contact dermatitis, excessive exposure to sunlight and formation of melanin pigmentation, skin infection , eczema, bug bite and other medical condition. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to stop using any cosmetic product and only apply petroleum jelly. You should protect your skin from sun exposure and apply broad spectrum sunscreen when in exposure to sun . Also take over the counter antihistamine like benadryl. Consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically , take history , order skin test for allergy and blood test . Doctor may order corticosteroid ointment , anti allergic medicine , antibiotics and may alter the dose of zolpidem or prescribe substitute .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
