【How to distinguish between spots and pigment deposition?】

  Different types of spots have different clinical manifestations, including the color of skin lesions, distribution sites, and whether the boundaries are clear, which require dermatologists to make differential diagnoses. Some people may have several types of spots on their faces at the same time, especially older people.

  The causes and depths of different spots also vary. For example, freckles mainly have melanin particles in the epidermis and pigment deposition in deeper layers.

  Therefore, it is recommended to visit a professional cosmetic dermatologist and have a consultation with a doctor.
