Medium to dark skinned people are prone to the development of dark spots. Something triggers the skin to produce additional melanin, the substance responsible for giving the skin its color. These triggers may include wounds caused by insect bites, cuts, burn or other injuries, certain medications, beauty products that causes an allergic reaction, hormonal changes, or when psoriasis clears, leaving prominent patches behind. Treatment by dermatologists will depend upon the triggers responsible for causing the hyperpigmentation. According to well-trained hyperpigmentation caused by acne, eczema or psoriasis, the skin condition has to be treated and healed first. When the breakouts are controlled, only then can treatment start on the hyperpigmentation. dermatologists, when treating As the wound heals after a skin injury, a dark spot or patch may become more prominent. This may fade on its own in time, depending if the skin is injured again. Skin care product may cause irritation to the skin and could be responsible for dark spots. When these spots start appearing, switch to gentler products with pertinent labels, marked for sensitive skin. Try the fragrance free option, for this will cause less irritation to a sensitive skin. When the irritation has subsided, new spots will stop appearing and the original spots will fade in time. When medicationis the cause of dark spots, do not stop using the medication without consulting a physician. By uncovering and treating the root of the problem, the development of new spots will stop and healing can start. Fading of superficial hyperpigmentation can take up to twelve months to disappear completely. However, deeper pigmentation may take years to fade. The deeper discoloration is often gray, dark brown or slate blue in color, much darker then the natural skin tone. It will become lighter with the correct treatment. Dermatologists recommend that the first effective treatment for hyperpigmentation starts with simple actions like with the application of sunscreen. When using a good quality product it will prevent new spots from forming and will have an influence on the existing spots. Cover every single piece of exposed skin with a layer of sunscreen. Wearing a wide-brimmed UV protected hat when outdoors, will protect the neck and face.

For a reputable sunscreen to be effective, it should offer protection of SPF 30 or higher, offer broad-spectrum protection, be water-resistant; contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as active ingredients. A non-comedogenic productwill refrain from clogging the pores on oily skin types. Dermatologists recommend a tinted sunscreen to blends with, and even out the natural skin tone, without leaving white marks. Now that preventative care is in place, dermatologists can focus on the treatment to eliminate the formation of new spots and the fading of the existing ones. Recommended products are often available without a prescription. If obtained on advice of a reputable dermatologist, it should contain Azelaic acid, Glycolic acid, Kojic acid, Retinoid (retinol, tretinoin, adapalene gel, or tazarotene) and Vitamin C. These active ingredients are renowned for fading existing dark spots, and effectively slows down the production of melanin, which causes the dark spots and patches. Refrain from using random products that may cause greater harm. Some products contain harmful ingredients that can cause irreparable damage to the skin and overall health.
