Skin Spots
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The dermatologist is the specialist who studies changes in skin color, whether lighter or darker areas appear. Skin spots are pigmentation changes that can be due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, prior inflammation, or the passage of time.
Common causes:
- Accumulated sun exposure.
- Hormonal changes.
- Marks left after an injury or inflammation.
When to see a doctor? It is prudent to seek an evaluation when a spot changes in shape, size, or color, appears suddenly, or raises doubts. In addition to the dermatologist, the general practitioner or the internist can guide the initial assessment; having the skin checked by a professional helps clarify the cause.
