Why is my nose a lighter color than my face? How can I treat it?

Question

My nose skin is lighter color than my face color. I have noticed very recently, just a month back. Actually during this lockdown time I was just at home almost 3 to 4 months, after that I have noticed this color difference between my nose and face. Face is darker than the nose ( may be nose is actually my natural skin color) Please advise. Thank you.

this is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation/melasma/discoloration that needs cosmelan or enlighten peels at home which we can do virtually and send to your home along with aerify peels regularly, vivatia foam, restorsea 10x, faith essence serum, and cosmelan 2 cream.

Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimonthly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.
