Hyperpigmentation can appear as brown, black, grey, red, or pink spots over skin. Age spots, sun spots, or liver spots are some of the names given to these spots. Spots might appear in a single location or all over the body.
As the name implies, they are more common among adults over the age of 40. Melanin, the pigment that gives our skin its colour, is responsible for their appearance.
It is important to note that not all causes of birthmarks are harmful and may not need to be treated. It is possible that some, such as skin cancer and cyanosis, require urgent care. If any new discoloured areas of skin form or if existing moles change in any way, you should consult a doctor immediately to undergo dermatology treatment for pigmentation.
The cheeks, nose, and forehead are common sites for pigmentation patches to appear, so keeping an eye out for them is a good idea. A pigmented patch can begin with any sort of discoloration or unevenness in the skin.
It may take some time for the dark spots or patches to fade after the source of the problem has been identified and stopped.
