I'm noticing this really dark black layer that keeps forming on just my nose and chin. It's only happening in those areas and it's starting to worry me. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Be gentle with your skin. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or using products that could irritate it further. Maintain a consistent skincare routine and be patient, as fading dark spots can take time (usually a few weeks to a couple of months). Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet rich in antioxidants to support overall skin health. If the problem persists or if you suspect an underlying skin condition, a dermatologist can provide targeted treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or prescription-strength creams to address the issue.
