Pigmentation spots after age 30

Lesser-Known Causes of Pigmentation Spots

Pigmentation spots, or melasma, often result from several combined factors:

• Hormones: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during pregnancy or due to contraception, can trigger an overproduction of melanin. This phenomenon, known as the “pregnancy mask,” primarily affects women.
• Skin Aging: Over time, the skin loses its ability to regulate melanin production, leading to the appearance of spots.
• Cumulative Sun Exposure: It’s not just sunburns that cause spots. Regular, even moderate, sun exposure leaves its mark over the years.
• External Aggressors: Pollution and harsh chemical products can weaken the skin barrier, promoting the development of spots.

When Spots Become Concerning

Some pigmentation spots, especially those caused by excessive sun exposure, can evolve and become problematic. If left unchecked, they may develop into precancerous lesions or even skin cancer. That’s why it’s essential to consult a professional as soon as spots appear, particularly if they change in color, size, or texture. Prevention is key: an in-depth skin analysis can differentiate benign spots from those that may pose a health risk.

Debunking Common Misconceptions

• “A good cream will do the trick”: While some creams can help brighten the skin, they’re not effective for treating deep spots or addressing associated risks. Over-the-counter products lack the potency to work on deeper skin layers.
• “Spots will fade over time”: Unfortunately, without intervention, pigmentation spots tend to worsen with age.
• “All lasers are the same”: Each type of pigmentation requires a specific approach. Using the wrong treatment can make the condition worse.
