Hi,
- I would advise thyroid function tests for excluding high thyroid hormone causing excessive pigmentation of facial skin specially on cheeks.
-Apart from normal skin care (cleaning,toning&moisturising) you can try light massage with de keratinising cream like Piglow or Keratin on the patches only while you are at home only for 3 days at a stretch in 15 days would help. While going out use sunscreen under your face powder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
