Long-standing black spots on the cheeks along with rough, pigmented skin on the chin are most likely due to chronic pigmentation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or melasma) along with some textural skin changes. Since it has been present for many years, it requires consistent and long-term treatment.
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Pigmentation takes time (weeks to months) to improve, so be patient
• Avoid sun exposure and always use sunscreen, even indoors if exposed to light
• Do not use multiple strong creams together without guidance
• Since it is long-standing, combination treatment under a dermatologist will give the best results.

Hey there young lady...
16 yrs is a long time and obviously what you are doing isn't working.
Also since one has no clue about how this looked when it began, progress is difficult to ascertain objectively.
Suggest you 📥 some clear digital pics of your issues and then let's take it forward via this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation 🙏
As a fellow medical professional from Bengaluru, I don't usually charge such consults.
But, we will need an in-depth discussion to arrive at a suitable treatment plan tailored for you.
Good Luck and Godspeed 🙏

Health Tips
Use sunscreen daily
