Skin dark spots - #12057

Aasha

I am really worried about these skin dark spots that have suddenly appeared on my face over the past few months. At first, I thought it was just a summer tan, you know, like maybe I overdid it with the sunbathing but now I'm not so sure. I noticed these skin dark spots popping up around my cheeks and nose, and it feels like they’re getting darker and more prominent day by day. I tried using different creams that claim to help with skin dark spots but nothing seems to work! Like, I looked up some home remedies too, like lemon juice and aloe vera, but even that didn’t seem to make a change. I’m thinking, could these skin dark spots be related to something underlying? I did mention it to my doctor, and they just said it’s probably just hyperpigmentation, but I feel like there’s got to be more to it. I also changed my skincare routine a bit, but then I read somewhere that harsh ingredients can sometimes make skin dark spots worse. Ugh, it’s so confusing! Do skin dark spots really go away on their own, or should I be looking for a specific treatment? Any advice from those who’ve dealt with skin dark spots before would be super helpful!
