Dear Doctor XXXXXXX
I have uploaded two pictures to the website as requested.
1. Latest Pic, I took this pic just now. You can see dark patches on my cheeks just below the eyes on both sides. The patches are not so big but are clearly visible. You can also see my face color which is dark compare to four months back.
2. I have also uploaded the pic I took 4 months before. You can see my face color as fair & clear and no dark patches. I uploaded this picture just for your reference.
I am not sure this is because of sun or because of any other skin problem. if you could suggest me a course or a good cream of medicine would be great.
Thank you so much!
