Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query.

Black patches over the face may be most commonly postinflammatory pigmentation which occurs usually after acne (pimples) or any trauma. It can also occur due to sun damage which is termed melasma.


The Probable causes:

1. Postinflammatory.

2. UV rays (sun damage).

Treatment plan:

1. Start applying anti-pigmentary medications like Kojic acid (Kojivit) or Hydroquinone 2 % (HH lite) in the night only to the black patches for two weeks along with a sunscreen of SPF 26 and above in the morning to your full face three to four times like at 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM

2. Sunscreen can be continued for a long duration.

Regarding follow up:
