    How to get rid of pigmentation from face on side of cheeks?

    Did you try peels? Ask your derm about it or find yourself pro cosmetician

    What you have is melasma:

    "Melasma is a dark skin discoloration that appears on sun-exposed areas of the face. Melasma doesn't cause any other symptoms besides skin discoloration but may be of great cosmetic concern."

    You can usually treat it with chemical peels or using hydroquinone creams of 2%.
