Acne spots are unwanted appearances that occur on our skin and cause pigmentation changes. They usually occur during or after acne or acne treatment. Acne spots are the result of excessive production of skin pigment or accumulation of damaged skin cells.
Acne spots can appear due to various factors:
1. Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes during periods such as puberty, pregnancy or menopause can cause acne spots to form.
2. Inflammation: Skin damage and inflammation that occur during the healing process of acne can increase pigment production and lead to acne spots.
3. Sunlight: Excessive exposure to sunlight can cause increased skin pigment and the formation of acne spots.
4. Skin type: Some people's skin types may be more prone to acne spots. People with dark skin are especially at risk in this regard.
