What Caused The Dark Patches On My Cheeks?
Hi,I have recently got 2 dark patches on my cheeks. Just on my cheek bone as it creases. From some comments below it leans towards diabetes. I don t think I am pregnant.. My urine is also off. It looks like it is scaly. I am 27, 5 ft 6 and weigh 170lbs (I have recently gained 30lbs in the last year) maybe this is a factor?

Hi.
As per your case history of dark skin.
My treatment advice is –
1. Avoid sun-exposure and use a good sun-screen with spf more than 30.
2. Apply a kojic acid cream like kojivit twice daily on dark skin.
3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 30days .
4. Other treatment options are oral isotretinoin, topical hydroquinone and chemical peeling done by a dermatologist.
Thanks.
