What Causes Dark Spots On Our Skin

Hyperpigmentation (a fancy name for dark spots)
are common to our skin and as with anything else
there are different elements that cause the spots.

Spotting (as I call it) usually begins around our
middle ages and are most common on our face, arms,
neck and hands. Thee are several skin diseases that
cause these spots, but I don't know exactly what they
are or even how to pronounscce them, but I will list
them anyway.

**Linea Fusca
**Riehl's Melanosis
**Erythromelanosis Follicularis
**Melasma
**Poikiloderma of Civatte
**Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Feel free to look them up. That's what I'll
have to do so I know what I'm talking about.
There are also certain medications that cause
spotting: being out in the sun without sun-
screen causes spotting (it's the UVA rays that does this),
and other conditions and diseases cause spotting.
Here's a couple of examples:
**Pregnancy
**Liver Disease

Our skin is the largest living tissue we have and
it is very important we take care of it. To do
that you should always put on a good sunscreen
read the side effects on any medications you
may have to take and most importantly talk to
your Doctor if those dark spots become larger
discolored or seem abnormal to you in any way.

Hope everyone has a great day and take car of
yourselves inside and out.
