Hello,

I can understand your concern for hyper-pigmentation for more than 5 years. After analyzing your query I can get that you have the problem of either post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation or due to melasma. Post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation is a skin problem where the color giving cells are over active and are produce more color to the skin. The resulting situation is manifested as slightly increased pigmentation over the affected area. The possibility of melasma can be due to hormonal influence and a resultant higher pigmentation over cheek area.
Your doctor has given a latest treatment with tranexamic acid and other latest ingredient in the treatment. These are latest of the therapy for the treatment of melasma and related pigmentation. You can follow the same and can take further guidance from a dermatologist.
All the best.
