Age-related dark spots on the face, known as age spots, are also called seborrheic keratosis. It can be treated by freezing, laser, electrocautery, or surgical scraping and excision.
Seborrheic keratosis is a benign skin tumor that is most common in older adults on the exposed parts of the head, face and limbs. It does not usually affect health, but can affect skin aesthetics, resulting in localized hyperpigmentation, greasy thick scabs or the appearance of small, flat, well-defined plaques with smooth, slightly papillary irregularities raised on the skin surface.
If there is a need for treatment, the skin growths can be frozen and removed by liquid nitrogen freezing; localized discoloration can be removed by laser or high-frequency electrocautery treatment. Surgery, such as scraping or surgical excision, can be used to improve the condition completely if necessary, but it is a more invasive option and should be chosen with caution.
The appearance of yellow-brown or dark brown patches on the surface of the skin, the area gradually increasing, it is recommended to go to the dermatology department of regular hospitals, combined with the advice of specialists to standardize the treatment.
