I've been noticing some white streaks on the sides of my face, right on the cheekbones. They're not really spots or patches, but they definitely look fairer compared to the rest of my skin. Any idea what might be causing this?

The white streaks on your cheekbones could be due to several reasons, including hypopigmentation, vitiligo, pityriasis alba, or idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis; so consult dermatologist
