Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query facial patches on skin is because of allergic reaction to acid cleanser and it could be due to hyper-pigmentation as well as your skin is because of increased sensitivity of getting pigmented. Need not to worry. I would suggest you should apply cream rich in Azelaic acid or Kojic acid. Apply on face twice daily. It will lighten red and white patches on skin. Use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30. You can go for home remedy as well. Apply mashed potatoes on these pigments. It will resolve. apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil to lighten the pigments. You can visit dermatologist once and can go for chemical peeling or micro abrasion if your symptoms not resolving. Take supplements rich in vitamin C.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
