Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and there are multiple causes of dark patches on the cheeks.
It could be due to hormonal changes, thyroid dysfunction, excessive sun exposure, anemia and sometimes occurs without any cause.
I would recommend you to upload the pictures of the affected area so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
