light brown skin color - #20906

Krishna

I am really confused about my skin since I noticed some changes lately. I have light brown skin color, and I've always been happy with it, but now I'm seeing patches that are getting darker, especially on my arms and face. I mean, I thought it might be just sun exposure at first, but they don’t seem to go away with sunscreen. There’s this area on my cheek that’s really noticeable and it’s kinda stressing me out. The other day I went for a checkup, and my doctor mentioned it could be something like hyperpigmentation, but they didn’t really explain much more. Like, could it be related to anything else? I also kinda feel like my light brown skin color makes those spots stand out more, ya know? And honestly, should I be using different products for my skin type? I tried a new moisturizer and it made my skin feel greasy and I think it got worse after that. Can anyone relate? Is there something specific I should be looking out for with skin that’s light brown? Any advice or reassurance would be super appreciated!
