I've noticed this dark patch appearing on my temple, right between my forehead and nose. The skin texture feels normal, not rough or anything, but it looks like it's just more tanned than the rest of my face. I'm pretty sure it's not actually a tan. What can I do to make it go away?

This black patch could be a condition called melasma, which is a common skin problem causing dark, discolored patches on the skin. To help fade the black patch, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. An example of such a cream is Tri-Luma, which should be applied once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Remember to consult with a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
