Hi. A proper evaluation needs to be done in your case. Whether there is friction, scaling, trauma, use of any cosmetics, itching, sun exposure, etc for the darkening on these two areas. For the blackheads and whiteheads a topical retinoid cream may help along with peels. A salicylicd acid based face wash can also help in this season. U can thereby follow up on private chat.
