Dark patches on face: Azelaic acid cream can slow and stop the production of pigment that is making the skin darken. Hydroquinone is another treatment. Hydroquinone, though, blocks the chemical process that creates melanin. It removes pigment from the skin.

Melasma?: It is hard to know without a photograph or examination, but melasma is a common cause of dark patches of skin on the face. This can be treated with topical medications and/or peels/laser treatments. It could represent another problem as well, so i would be sure to mention it to your doctor.
