Facial spots caused by different factors will cause different appearances of dark spots. In daily life, if we find dark spots on the face, how should we identify its type? Let us recognize several common types of facial spots on the body and face.

Method/Process

1

Chloasma: Also known as "butterfly spots" or "pregnancy spots", the key is that it looks like the imprint of butterfly wings, and usually appears on the face, cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, etc. Chloasma needs to be distinguished from freckles, post-inflammatory pigmentation, brown-green nevus on the cheeks, melanosis, pigmented lichen planus, etc.

Sun spots: mainly caused by ultraviolet rays, toxin accumulation, cellular irritation and other factors. Sun spots appear as oval bulges or smooth, with a dark brown or light brown color. They are most likely to appear on the sides of the front buttocks, arms, outer calves and face. In the early stages of sun spots, you will feel pain, itching, flaking, and eventually develop spots. The key to identifying facial sun spots is to see whether they appear on the bridge of the nose and cheeks, and whether they are mainly dark brown spots with granular spots.

Stretch marks: Stretch marks are also called "chloasma" or "butterfly spots". Stretch marks are mainly caused by pregnancy. The overall appearance of Stretch marks is the same as "chloasma", which is a butterfly flower shape. It is distributed on the bridge of the nose, cheeks, forehead and other parts of the face with brown as the main color. If you want to identify whether it is a Stretch mark without knowing whether you are pregnant, you need to see whether the color of the nipples, nipples, midline of the abdomen and the skin of the private parts has changed. You can also look at some obvious moles on the body to see if the color has also changed. If the color has changed, it is a Stretch mark.

Black spots: Black spots are also called "pigment spots". They are commonly seen on women's faces. They are caused by exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun and allergies to skin care products. In addition, some habits in daily life may also cause black spots, such as excessive work pressure, poor rest, and frequent constipation. The key to identifying black spots is to see whether there are small black or blue-black black spots on the face. They usually spread all over the face. The location of the black spots is messy but the spread is orderly.

Freckles: Freckles usually appear around 3-5 years old, mostly in women. Freckles are more serious in women during puberty, but they will decrease with age. They are mainly concentrated on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, arms, neck and shoulders. The color is light brown, and the spots are the size of a pinhead to a millet grain. The key to identifying facial freckles is to look for dark brown or gray-black spots of 1-2MM in size. The total number of spots is concentrated, and the cheeks are more concentrated than other areas.
