Understanding Pigmented Skin
Spots & Patches

Certain types of dark spots heal and fade naturally over time. Others, however have a more deep-rooted presence, with effects that can, over a prolonged period, cause even more complications for the skin. Understanding what causes these darkened areas on your skin and knowing when they need medical attention will help minimise skin damage.

Why Should I See a Dermatologist for Pigmentation?

Without proper treatment, pigmentation may worsen over time. Pigmentation can also be challenging to treat because milder treatments may not work while strong medication or aggressive laser therapy may worsen the pigmentation. The effective treatment of pigmentation, especially complex problems, will demand that an experienced dermatologist employ a gradual escalation of therapy and careful monitoring to observe the outcomes and the prevention of adverse effects.

Early intervention to treat pigmentation goes a long way to minimise the condition from worsening.
