Why is my lower face darker than upper?

I am 15 year old female and my lower face is darker than my upper face. It's not pigmentation or pimple patches. It's totally darker than my upper face. It starts from my chubby chicks to jawline

You might have a medical condition named acanthosis nigricans. It can sometimes cause the lower face to be darker than the rest. It's not dangerous but could be a sign of something more serious, like insulin resistance, that is happening inside your body. You can fix this by eating cleaner, being active, and maintaining skin health. Furthermore, consume a lot of water.

Female | 20

Milia are tiny white­ bumps under the eyes, looking like­ cysts. Don't fret! These ofte­n disappear without action. Try a gentle e­xfoliating cream, containing glycolic acid or retinol. Kee­p skin is clean, and moisturized. For oily complexions, use­ lightweight, oil-free moisturize­rs. Avoid squeezing or picking milia.

I recommend that you see an urologist promptly for appropriate assessment and diagnosis of the true nature of your condition. Do not use any home treatment since it may worsen the hematoma.

It is best to consult with a dermatologist to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for your melasma. Depending on the severity of your melasma, they may recommend a combination of topical and laser treatments, chemical peels, lightning creams. Recommended limiting sun exposure and wearing sunscreen with a high SPF rating, to reduce your risk of further melasma flare-ups.
