Skin pigmentation disorders are primary dermatology focus
Find Dermatology SpecialistsPigmentation spots result from uneven melanin distribution, often caused by sun exposure, aging, hormones, or genetics. They're typically harmless but can indicate sun damage.
Most pigmentation spots are benign and cosmetic. However, consult a dermatologist if spots change shape, color, size, or itch, as these may indicate skin cancer.
Prevention includes daily sunscreen use and sun protection. Treatments include topical creams, laser therapy, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion. Consult a dermatologist for options.
