black spot face - #12700

Aasha

I am dealing with this black spot on my face that just won’t go away and it’s driving me nuts! I first noticed it like maybe a month ago after my vacation to the beach. At first, I thought it was just a weird tan line or something but it’s getting darker and it looks like a small mole or something. The skin around it seems normal and I don’t really have any pain or itchiness which is good, I guess. Anyway, I’ve been trying some over-the-counter creams but nothing is working. I’ve done a bit of research and found out that black spot on face could be a sign of sun damage or even melasma, which freaks me out a bit because I’ve always been careful about sun exposure, ya know? My mom gets dark spots too and I wonder if it's genetic or something? But I don’t wanna just sit around and let it get worse! My friend suggested I consult a dermatologist but the wait time is forever and I don’t have the patience for that. Should I just keep trying more creams, or is there something else I should be doing about this black spot on my face? Anyone had a similar experience or know what might help?
