Sun Damage, Freckle and Pigmentation

SUN DAMAGE

Chronic sun exposure is the most common reason for UV induced skin damage. Sun damage is more apparent in lighter skin types. Even though the sun induced damages aren’t apparently visible immediately, they develop wrinkles, fine lines, freckles, uneven pigmentation, prominent and dilated superficial vessels, rougher skin texture, comedones etc. These are the visible results of UVA and UVB radiations.

SUN TAN

This is caused due to increased production of melanin on the sun exposed area resulting in pigmented skin. It can be prevented by protection like sunscreen application, having an oral sunscreen like Polypodium leucotomos extract, wearing protective clothing to minimize the sun exposure.

MELASMA :

Melasma is a common skin problem. It causes brown to gray- brown patches, usually on the face. Most people get it on their cheeks, bridge of nose, forehead, and chin and above upper lip. It could also appear on neck and forearms due to prolonged UV exposure. First line of defense against melisma is sun protection. This means wearing an adequate amount of SPF and reapplying it every 2 hours. Your doctor also would advise you to wear a wide brimmed hat when you are outside. Apart from sun exposure, certain hormonal variations also could trigger pigmentation called “mask of pregnancy”. Certain skin care product which irritates your skin could also worsen the melasma.

FRECKLES:

These are brown or black spots due to cluster of melanin deposited on skin. It’s more apparent on fair skinned individual. UV damage due to excess sun damage is seen on face, or any exposed areas like chest, arms and shoulders.

POST INFLAMMATORY HYPERPIGMENTATION

These results from any skin injury or skin grafting or even when the acne forms and dries up or is squeezed or picked on.
