Got Patches On Face After Using Moisturiser, Looks Like Sunburn, No Itching. What Should I Do?

I recently started using a new face moisturiser. I stopped using is after noticing I got to patches on my face. one patch is a rectangular shape, 2x1.5 inches. The other is small about a 0.5 inches. Both are scaling loking as if I got sunburnt and are in the process of peeling but neither has yet to flake off. They don t itch and are not red in color. They are a darker shade than my natural skintone. I spenda lot of time outdoors. Should i get these spots loojed at or just switch moisturisers?

I would suggest you to switch to a good moisturizer like Neutrogena . you can use cetaphil cleansing lotion and you can use a mild steroid on the affected area twice a day for 7 days .
