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.
