Pigmented spots are divided into congenital (hence the name "born") and acquired. Some of them, for example, "hepatic spots" in infants go by themselves, usually by the age of two, others remain for life. The latter include nevi, or moles. People are born with them or acquire in the first years of life, although they can add these "special signs" to each holiday season. In any case, it is a congenital defect of the skin, expressed in the local accumulation of melanocytes. Prophylaxis of birthmarks is impossible, and get rid of them only with the help of a doctor. Nevus - a capricious phenomenon, they do not like friction, chemical, thermal and ultraviolet exposure. So, until they increase in size, do not bleed and do not itch, it is better not to touch them and hide them from the sun. Freckles, which seem charming to everyone, except their owners, arise under the influence of the sun. Blondes and especially red-haired people know - from March to October, this uninvited decoration will flaunt on the nose, cheeks and even on the shoulders and hands. However, it is not necessary to get involved in the "high season" with bleaching procedures, especially since most of them are strictly prohibited during the period of high solar activity from April to October. Accent should be done to protect the skin with the help of blocking cream (SPF-40-60), wide-brimmed hats and mandatory loose powder with SPF. But the real problem is spots that almost no one considers attractive. Clearly defined clusters of melanocytes (scientific name - chloasma) differ in depth, color (from light to dark brown), in size (from a few millimeters in diameter to several centimeters) and arise for a variety of reasons.
Spots: causes and effects
- Outside
The most obvious, underlying cause is solar activity. Uneven skin change under the influence of ultraviolet is called solar dermatitis. He is not as innocent as he seems. Stains can remain a reminder of an unsuccessful tan even when there is no more tan. And although it is easy to get rid of the "superfluous" stain, the premature skin aging and dysfunction of the epidermis are a serious enough problem to prevent such situations. It is especially insulting to realize that about 10% of pigment spots we create ourselves - by negligence, which otherwise can not be called criminal in relation to one's own appearance. To begin treatment in these cases follows from the reason. With its elimination, spots can brighten or even disappear. In any case, if you only fight with a spot, it will always return to the same place or "float" somewhere else. The hormonal cause costs approximately for 60% of cases of skin color change, so the consultation of the endocrinologist is highly desirable. Pregnancy and climacteric period - in short, the moments associated with cardinal hormonal changes, too, can leave a clear mark on the skin. By the depth of the location of pigment spots, we can talk about malfunctioning of the body. The deeper the spot is, the more confident it can be said that its appearance is caused by internal disturbances in the functions of certain organs or systems in the body. Very often, the nose, lips, chin are evaluated, as these are the protruding organs, the blood supply suffers. If the cardiovascular system is not in order, in the corner of the nose there may be cyanosis or marbled gray skin with a cyanotic shade. Expanded veins, emerging venous stasis indicate a violation of the respiratory system. If there are changes on the branch of the lower jaw, we are talking about lung diseases. Acne or pigmentation is a violation of the body's immunity. May be evidence of a chronic disease of the lungs and heart. If the tip of the nose, wings, chin, cheeks have a developed vascular network and burgundy color - it is about increased arterial pressure, and the process can be already long. If the pimples on the cheeks, above the wings of the nose - suffer from the stomach, duodenum. The eroded surface of the skin on the temporal region is an inflammatory process associated with the gallbladder. Deep wrinkles on the forehead, pimples are almost always associated with intoxication in the large intestine. Can be characterized as one of the indirect signs of constipation. The area between the superciliary arches and frontal cusps is the urine marker of the excretory system. Pimples, pigmentation on the bridge of the nose between the eyebrows - a violation of the liver. If the entire face pigmentation, red spots - obviously a violation of the liver and pancreas. This is due to the inadequacy of functions and the violation of enzymatic metabolism. The area around the eyes, the change in the lower eyelids, puffiness, pigmentation reflect the state of the kidneys and can serve as a reason for seeking accurate diagnosis. The upper eyelids reflect the state of the cardiovascular system, viz., An inadequate vascular tone associated with functional and organic impairment. The state of the pelvic organs can be judged by the state of the skin of the chin. These changes characterize insignificant hormonal changes and characteristic balance of hormones. But it is necessary to know that it is difficult to reliably determine on the face map which organ suffers. It can only serve as an excuse for contacting a doctor. It is best to eliminate the dermatocosmetological methods of pigmented spots obtained due to ultraviolet light. If the pigmentation has a neuroendocrinal character, then all possible methods will be absolutely useless. In this case, consultation of the endocrinologist and, if necessary, other specialists is needed. If the cause is clear, then you will be prescribed drugs aimed at eliminating it, which, together with dermatocosmetic agents, will help get rid of pigmentation. In my opinion, the most successful method of eliminating age spots is the procedure on the apparatus "Quantum". Under its influence, the temperature of the skin rises, due to which the pigmentation breaks down. Some stains with this machine can be removed from the first time. But, it is necessary to know that this method eliminates pigmentation spots, but does not prevent their appearance.
