Expert opinion
“It is very important to get the opinion of a dermatologist for
blemishes. Incorrect applications, especially cosmetics bought
from the internet, can also cause bigger problems on the skin.”
The most common spots
Fügen Erdoğan Çekin, who recorded that the most common
skin spots are freckles, age spots or sun spots, melasma
(pregnancy spots) and keratosis, explains the causes of spotting
as follows, “Conditions that are damaged sometimes cause
high production of melanin. This causes staining. Exposure
to sunlight for many years causes flat, tan, brown, oval spots,
which are popularly called liver spots, but are not associated
with liver problems. These spots are most commonly seen
on sun-exposed areas such as the face and back of the hands.
They typically begin to appear in middle age and increase in
number as they age. People who have these may have a higher
risk of skin cancer called melanoma. Bleaching agents such as
hydroquinone are not effective. Although some patients state
that this stain is opened with lemon, this treatment has no
scientific acceptance. Some medications also cause staining on
the skin. However, these are common areas of darkening and
usually the symptoms disappear after the drug is discontinued.
It may take longer to fade in dark-skinned people.”
Spots and treatments:
Melasma (Pregnancy Spot)
“Melasma is the name given to the spots that appear most often
on the face, especially in sun-exposed areas, with the appearance
of black or brown brush. Melasma, which is frequently seen on
the nose, forehead, upper lip and cheeks, can be seen in men,
although it is often seen in women. In addition to sun rays,
pregnancy, birth control pills, especially cosmetic products
with high paraben content can cause such skin spots. In recent
years, this type of skin staining has been seen more frequently in
people with thyroid and especially Hashimoto’s disease.”
Sunspots
“Sunspots, which occur more frequently in the summer but do
not go away in the winter, are seen on the parts of the body
that are exposed to the sun. The color of sunspots that become
permanent on the skin may become darker in summer.”
Freckles
“It is especially seen in fair-skinned people. Freckles, which can
be yellow or brown, mostly appear in childhood. Freckles that
darken as a result of sun exposure; It is more common in areas
such as the face, back and hands.”
Keratosis, moles and skin cancer
“Fluffy, brown-black and rough patches that can be seen all over
the body in advanced ages are called keratosis. Although the
appearance is bad, they are quite benign and do not become
cancerous. Cancers that develop from moles are usually fatal.
Therefore, moles should be followed regularly.”
başlar ve yaşlandıkça sayıları artar. Bunlara sahip kişilerde
melanom adı verilen deri kanseri riski daha yüksek olabilir.
Hidrokinon gibi ağartma maddeleri etkili değildir. Bazı hastalar
limon ile bu lekenin açıldığını belirtse de bu tedavinin bilimsel
olarak kabulü yoktur. Bazı ilaçlar da deride lekelenmeye neden
olur. Ancak bunlar yaygın koyulaşma alanlarıdır ve genellikle
ilaç kesildikten sonra şikayetler kaybolur. Koyu tenli insanlarda
solması daha uzun sürebilir.”
Lekeler ve tedavileri:
Melazma (Gebelik Lekesi)
“Melazma; özellikle güneş gören bölgelerde en sık yüzde ortaya
çıkan siyah ya da kahverengi fırça ile sürülmüş görünümü olan
lekelere verilen isimdir. Burun, alın, dudak üstü ve yanaklarda
sıkça rastlanan melazma, sıklıkla kadınlarda görülse de
erkeklerde de rastlanabilir. Güneş ışınlarının yanı sıra, gebelik,
doğum kontrol hapları, özellikle paraben oranı yüksek olan
kozmetik ürünler bu tür deri lekeleri oluşumuna neden olabilir.
Son yıllarda tiroit ve özellikle Haşimato hastalığı olan kişilerde
bu tür deri lekelenmeleri daha sık görülmektedir.”
Güneş lekeleri
“Yaz aylarında daha sık ortaya çıkan ancak kışın da geçmeyen
güneş lekeleri, vücudun güneşe maruz kalan kısımlarında
görülür. Deride kalıcı hale gelen güneş lekelerinin rengi yazın
daha da koyulaşabilir.”
Çiller
“Özellikle açık tenli kişilerde görülür. Sarı ya da kahverengi
olabilen çiller, daha çok çocuklukta ortaya çıkar. Güneşe
