Melasma or something else

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi all, had a dark ish patch on the side of my face for a few years, maybe 10 ish, my mum noticed it the other day whilst I visited her. What do you all thing? I seem to have similar patch on the other side.

I'm male, 41 years old. Thanks.

    Looks like Melasma.If you are fair skinned and dont use any Sun Protection factor /sunscreen on your face then these can occur quite commonly. If they dont itch,bleed,get darker then then are OK but of course do see your doctor if you are worried. Not much you can do about them.
