What Do Dark Patches On Forehead And Cheeks Indicate?
I am 29/M. I am having dark patches (marks) on my forehead and cheeks.. These marks become prominent and visible with the change in weather/ climate (in case i travel to some other place).. these would also disappear (not completely) by itself. Request your solution

Hello,
Dark patches on forehead and cheeks becoming prominent with a change in weather could be tanning or melasma.
It seems that your skin is sensitive to sun exposure. I suggest you wear sunscreen every time you move out and also consult your dermatologist for clinical assessment and definitive treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
