There are more types of spots, such as freckles, melasma, age spots, etc. Freckles may be able to fade away on their own, while chloasma and age spots may persist.
1. Freckles: The occurrence of freckles is considered to be related to heredity, and frequent exposure to ultraviolet rays may lead to aggravation of freckles. Freckles, which may reach its peak in adolescence, may gradually fade after middle age and look less obvious.
2. Melasma: Melasma is an acquired pigmentation skin disease, which may lead to symmetrical yellowish or dark yellow patches on the face. The cause of chloasma is complicated, and it is considered to be related to a combination of internal and external factors. Chloasma usually cannot fade away on its own, so it is recommended to combine with doctor’s advice for treatment.
3. Age spots: Age spots are also called seborrheic keratosis, which is related to age, heredity, gender, sun exposure and other factors. Age spots usually cannot be eliminated or healed by themselves, and new patches may keep growing out with age.
To summarize, there are more types of spots, and patients have different clinical manifestations for different types of plaques. If the discoloration persists, it is necessary to go to the dermatology department of the hospital to determine the nature of the spots first, and then give targeted treatment.
