Pigment Spots / Skin Spots
What are pigment spots?
Pigment spots are brown or dark brown flat or raised spots on your skin. They are completely harmless and are caused or exaggerated by hormones within the skin. People with dark skin and pregnant women with increased hormonal production are especially prone to pigment spots. Acne can also produce them especially if the spots are squeezed or if the acne infection is slow to heal – the pigment marks can be darker and may last eight to twelve weeks. Other major causes are unprotected exposure to sunlight and skin injury (e.g. cut, burn or an infection).
But don’t worry. You will find help here at totalcare.
