What are uneven skin tone and dark spots?
Dark spots and uneven skin tones are a type of skin condition that can either be temporary or long-lasting. Some factors include exposure to the sun for long periods, post-inflammatory, dead skin, or dry patches. Another cause of uneven tone is age spots and wrinkles which occur when the skin starts to sag, and lose moisturizer naturally over time or simply due to overproduction of melanin which forms different tones on your neck and face. However, in some cases, skin discoloration can be caused by infections, skin cancers, rashes, or birthmarks. Some skin pigmentation disorders include melanoma, vitiligo, or albinism. Some skin disorders can be treated while others cannot be and have varying symptoms.Â
Another factor as to why skin pigmentation changes are due to underlying health risks or reactions to medicines. For instance, individuals with certain health issues may see changes or spots. However, in some cases, change in pigmentation occurs due to wounds, and inflammation of skin irritation which can be treated with the right skincare routine.Â
