Dark areas on face: Most dark areas on the face come from a prior redness and inflammation. People with darker skin tend to have darker discolorations after an inflammation, like a pimples or a rash. So, the most important thing to do first is to treat the underlying rash, whether it is acne, dandruff, or an allergy with Hydrocortisone cream1%, and then use sunscreens to block the sun. Also try a bleaching cream.
