Hello,
Your doctor may be right, facial melanosis may be due to drug, sun rays or vitamin deficiencies.
Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Tablet vitamin C, tablet glutathione, and multivitamin tablets may be taken for a long time. Apply Kojic acid gel on the patches.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel
