Face black marks - #12041

Aasha

I am a little worried about these face black marks that appeared out of nowhere. Like, a month ago, my skin was perfectly fine, but suddenly, I noticed these strange dark spots on my cheeks and forehead. At first, I thought it might be from the sun, but I’ve been using sunscreen religiously. I've tried over-the-counter creams that say they fade dark spots, but nothing seems to work! Doctor said it could be hormonal or something called melasma, but I don’t know if I believe that. I mean, why all of a sudden, right? I’ve always had clear skin, and now these face black marks are just embarrassing. I even had this awkward moment at work when someone asked if I had a bruise! Ugh! Feels like the marks are getting darker, and I can’t tell if they’re spreading. I’m super tempted to mask them with makeup, but I’m really curious, has anyone found real solutions to get rid of face black marks? Should I be looking for professional treatments or is there magic in natural remedies? I just want to feel confident again without worrying about these dang spots all the time! Any advice for someone who feels lost?
