Dark spots on the face are commonly caused by excess melanin production due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, and aging. These spots often appear as brown or black patches and can affect overall skin tone.
Acne scars, inflammation, and skin injuries can also leave behind dark marks. Conditions such as melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are more common in people with sensitive or oily skin.
Treatment options include using sunscreen daily, topical creams containing vitamin C, retinoids, or niacinamide, and professional treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy under medical guidance.
Home remedies such as aloe vera, turmeric, and lemon juice may help lighten dark spots gradually. Consistent skincare and sun protection are essential for preventing future pigmentation issues.
