This is a common skin issue that causes brown or gray patches on the skin around the face. This usually occurs on the cheeks, forehead, chin, and upper lip, and can also appear on parts of the body that get a lot of sun like the forearms and neck. The best way to prevent these from occurring is to use standard sunscreen and protection when going outside on sunny days, especially if you work outdoors, and are more likely to occur in women. While unsightly, these blemishes are harmless, but can darken with age.
