Consultation advised: One possibility is melasma. This is a hyperpigmentation usually on the cheeks and forehead. The exact cause is unknown but it increases with sunlight exposure. The treatment is using sunscreens and skin lightening products. For a precise diagnosis see a dermatologist or have an online consultation here at Heath Tap.
