Hello! my name is sidra mustafa. I am 22 years old and also unmarried. Recent days, i'm noticing some patches on my nose. I don't go outside or in sun. It looks like, melasma is being developed. But why? They are because of hormonal changes? And also my periods were irregular in this month. Period duration was of 1 day only. Kindly tell me what should I do? What is the main reason of these patches. They are light but can be darker. I'm using hydroquinone plus for this. And it's been 4 days of using it. Hoping for best reply.

Pigmentation or darkness of the skin can be because of many causes. Suntan, being overweight that is sedentary lifestyle, some pigmentation disorders like acanthosis nigricans for melasma, nutritional deficiency etc are some conditions. unless I take proper history and examine the affected area, a diagnosis cannot be made. please don't do any home remedies because if they go wrong it can worsen the problem. Please send photos using online consultation for proper examination diagnosis and treatment
