Learn more about brown spots
Brown spots, also called hyperpigmentation, are caused by the excess production of melanin, the brown pigment naturally present in skin. Sun rays, and other factors such as hormonal changes, aging and skin inflammation, disturb melanin production in the areas of our body most exposed, for example the face, neck, décolleté and backs of the hands. This causes brown spots to develop. They are generally harmless and can be improved by following a few simple rules. But it’s important to check them regularly for any changes, to detect any suspicious lesions as rapidly as possible.
