What Are Age Spots?
Age spots and pigmented lesions are skin discolorations that commonly appear as flat, dark areas on areas most exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. Unlike acne, which can manifest as various types of blemishes, these spots are usually uniform in appearance but can vary in size. While they predominantly affect older adults, age spots and pigmented lesions can also occur in younger individuals, particularly if they have had excessive sun exposure or are genetically predisposed. These marks are generally harmless, but they can be cosmetically bothersome and are often seen as signs of aging.
What Causes Age Spots?
Here are some of the most common causes of age spots and pigmented lesions:
Sun Exposure: Prolonged and frequent exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can stimulate melanin production, leading to dark spots.
Aging: As we age, the melanin production in our skin can become less even, contributing to age spots.
Genetics: A family history of pigmented lesions can increase your likelihood of developing them.
Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones due to pregnancy, menopause, or birth control pills can cause melasma, a form of pigmented lesion.
Skin Trauma: Injuries to the skin such as burns, cuts, or abrasions can sometimes heal with hyperpigmentation, creating darkened areas.
Medical Conditions: Diseases like liver dysfunction or hormonal imbalances can also lead to skin pigmentation issues.
Chemical Exposure: Some skin products or medications can make the skin more sensitive to the sun, leading to pigmented lesions.
