A member asked:

There is a dark patch on the right cheek bone.which is a little bit darker than my overall face color.reason?i have a medium brown skin tone.

Sun spot: This may be a solar lentigo which is a benign freckle-like growth. When you are young, it may fade away when you don't continue to get sun exposure but it recurs as soon as you do. I recommend you start wearing a sunscreen with an spf of at least 30.
