How do I get rid of the dark patch on my chin?

Q. I have a dark patch on my chin. It starts to fade away, but as soon as I shave that part, it becomes very dark. What is the treatment?

A. Please try to change your shaving cream /gel /foam. Avoid sun exposure. Use a good sunscreen (SPF>15). Use a Kojic acid cream with mometasone cream at bedtime for the dark spot.
