Hello , Continuous exposure to the sun damages your skin.dark patches appear on face due to sun exposure.face is mostly exposed to the sun. this is the main reason why dark patches appear on face. stress is also one of the reasons for it. Sometimes due to illness or allergy the dark patches appear.selection of soaps,face products and cosmetics affects the skin. some of the remedies for dark patches can be suggested :
1)Rub coconut oil on the patches at bed time. wash gently in the morning everyday.Apply for 15 days at least.
2)Application of carrot juice on patches also helps.
3)Apply lemon juice on the patches and allow it to dry. Regards, Dr.Sharmila
