Why Pigmentation Appears On The Face?

According to a study, pigmentation is one of the major causes for which people often see a skin specialist in Bhopal. Well, given that you know about the causes of pigmentation, it would be less likely for you to visit your skin specialist. With the same in mind, we have come up with this blog post to introduce you to a couple of reasons that causes age spots or pigmentations. So, without any further delay, let us get started:

What is pigmentation?

Darkened areas on the surface of your skin are known as pigmentation. The accumulation of melanin pigment on our skin leads to this condition. It is a myth that only people of older age groups suffer from pigmentation. The fact is that even children are not immune to skin pigmentation. As a dermatologist in Bhopal, we have encountered several cases of pigmentation in younger individuals.

What are the causes of skin pigmentation?

1 – Solar radiation

Exposure to the sun is one of the major causes of pigmentation. The ultraviolet rays from the sun trigger the accumulation of melanin pigment on our skin. The nose, cheekbones, and forehead are the majorly affected areas by pigmentation.

2 – Bad ecology

The cellular level of our skin gets negatively impacted by the pollution in the environment - smog, dust, polluted air. This weakens the barrier of the skin and slows down the regenerative processes of the skin cells.

3 – Genetics

As a dermatologist, we have diagnosed many cases of pigmentation where a family history of the problem has been the main cause. If pigmentation has been in your genes, you should start protecting your skin against the Sun an early age. Consult your skin doctor to know the suitable sunscreen as per your skin type.

Final Words:

Now that we have disclosed the major causes of pigmentation, you should be able to keep your skin protected against it. With that said, we would like to let you know that there is a treatment option for pigmentation in abundance, such as laser treatment, chemical peeling, Phototherapy, and that’s just the beginning.
