If black spots are appearing on your face again and again, then take it seriously, because sometimes they harm your beauty. The glow of a spotless face is worth seeing, but it is not easy to maintain it, because sometimes pimples appear on the face and sometimes black spots. Nowadays, due to changing lifestyle and wrong habits, the problem of black, brown, pink, grey or red spots on the skin is being seen, which are often seen more on the face, forehead and nose. These are also called melasma or hyperpigmentation.
Hyperpigmentation and Melasma
Hyperpigmentation is the name given to dark spots on the skin. These occur when the amount of a protein called melanin increases in the skin. This makes the skin appear darker and black, due to which dark spots start appearing. Similarly, melasma is also caused by excessive production of melanin, in which black, brown, pink spots appear on the cheeks and around the nose. Its marks are small on the faces of some women, while they appear large on the faces of others.
what is the reason
These can often arise from sun exposure, aging, hormonal imbalances or skin trauma, etc. This problem is more common in women as they go through a lot of hormonal changes in life, be it aging, pregnancy or menopause. These changes cause spots and pigmentation on the face.
Fungal infection is also a common cause of itching and black spots on the face. Today junk food has also become an important part of our lifestyle, excessive consumption of which can cause partial liver function problems. This also causes a change in the complexion of the face. Apart from this, increasing work load is also an important factor.
Know the treatment
To deal with this problem, consuming a nutritious diet rich in vitamins E and C can be beneficial. Also, drinking adequate amounts of water keeps the skin hydrated and helps in flushing out the toxins accumulated in the body.
Good sleep also helps in repairing and rebuilding the skin. Apart from this, you can try to relieve stress by including yoga and meditation in your daily routine, because it is very important to stay away from stress for beautiful and glowing skin.
Better photoprotection and sunscreen
Dr. Amit Kumar Meena, Senior Resident, Department of Dermatology, Lady Hardinge Medical College, Delhi says that hyperpigmentation is a skin disorder caused by several internal and external factors affecting melanocyte activity and melanin production. These factors include excessive sun exposure, intake of contraceptive pills, allergy to mustard oil or amla oil and especially genetic factors. Current treatments for these conditions include photoprotection, depigmenting agents and laser treatment. In this problem, it is important to avoid UV rays and for this photoprotection and sunscreen are better. You should consult a dermatologist for specific treatment and avoid over-the-counter medicines from the chemist.
