Pigmentation is a relatively common skin problem as we get older but there are a number of ways it can be treated.
Skin discolouration tends to increase as we get older and is governed by a number of factors:
- Genetics
- Skin type
- Sun exposure
- Skin injury
- Hormones/pregnancy
- Environmental exposure
Common presentations include:
- Birthmarks – usually flat, pigmented patches of varying size
- Moles – Often raise, pigmented or pale lumps
- Solar-related – Coloured patches due to sun damage
- Melanoma – darker coloured patches of different size and shape. This pigmentation may not be deep and be within the skin’s upper layers
