Have Patches On Face. No Medication Till Now. What Is The Remedy For This?

Hello, I am currently experiencing lighter small little patches on my skin that are lighter than my actual pigment (I am African-American) and it's just on my face. it is kind of around my nose, and across my nose, and they are like little circles and some parts of my skin are noticeably lighter (not Vitaligo though) & recently my normal pigmentation is sort of coming back over the spots and at one part of my face there are like 3 small circles doing that procedure of lightening then having my skin color "grow" over. WOuld you be able to identify what I am experiencing & if it is common?

Hi, Thanks for your query, 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.Repeat the same till patches are gone.
