[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor.Hyperpigmentation on upper part of left cheek-it needs a proper clinical diagnosis before starting treatment. Common cause of this type of spot is plasma. For management of plasma you could apply a sunscreen cream /lotion (e.g. Spectra ban) at morning and a 4% HY Chat Doctor. You might require laser surgery if your diagnosis would nevus of OTA or other conditions.Therefore, I suggest you to visit a dermatologist before starting any treatment. With regards.
