HI.
There are many conditions that may cause black patches on the face. Melasma is one of the most common causes and I think your mother has that only. Chemical peeling is usually a good choice, but it may go wrong if not done properly. Your mother may try a sunblock cream three times daily and demelan cream at night. See a good dermatologist for further advise.
