How to Deal with Uneven Skin Pigmentation

People often complain about brown spots and changes in the color of their skin. Irregular skin pigmentation is the most common kind of uneven pigmentation. This is when patches of skin get darker than the normal skin around them. 

Some people are born with skin that isn’t the right color, while others get it because of too much sun or an injury to the skin. It can happen to people of any age, race, or skin type, but people with darker skin are more likely to get it.

Most of the time, brown spots and dark patches on the face, chest, arms, and hands are signs of Irregular skin pigmentation. This happens when too much melanin, the brown pigment that gives skin its standard color, builds up in the skin. Sun exposure, acne, genetics, and hormone changes can all cause or worsen uneven pigmentation.

Not all pigmentation dilemmas can be avoided, but you can take steps to keep dark spots from showing up or make them less noticeable. Use enough sunscreen, take care of your acne, and stop taking oral medicines that could worsen the problem.

How can I stop my skin from this matter?

The good news is that irregular skin pigmentation is not dangerous. With the proper treatment, troublesome patches of skin can look and feel new again. 

Our doctors can help you use various treatments, from creams and dermabrasion to chemical peels and laser treatments. But more than that, here are the remedies that you can do to help treat yourself. 

Chemical Peels

As stated, a chemical peel is a treatment that uses a unique solution to eliminate dead, dull skin and skin cells on the skin’s surface. This gives the skin a healthy, glowing look. 

You can fix uneven pigmentation, early signs of aging, acne scars, and a dull complexion by removing dead skin cells. 

Chemical peels have various strengths that can help treat different skin problems. During your consultation, you can talk to your doctor about which peel is best for you.

Yogurt or milk

Lactic acid, found in yogurt and milk, is often used in chemical peels for the skin. The small amounts of these foods may also help mild hyperpigmentation.

You could try putting yogurt or milk on the spot directly or soaking a cotton ball in milk and putting it on the site.

People should let the yogurt or milk sit on the skin for a few minutes, wash the area well, and put moisturizer on it. Some people may be able to get rid of skin spots by doing this twice a day.

BBL

In the Broadband Light (BBL) treatment, light is also used to warm the skin gently, which helps collagen grow. This helps to smooth your skin tone by blending your natural skin colors. With little downtime, BBL treatments can be used on the face, chest, hands, and neck.

Green tea

In some cases, green tea’s principal active ingredient, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), may help change skin color. EGCG is an antioxidant compound that could help stop cell processes that lead to over-pigmentation. 

Gallic acid and ellagic acid are also found in green tea leaves, which may help improve skin. 

People who want this treatment can take an EGCG supplement or put a wet green tea bag on the spot for a few minutes each day.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C may help change the skin’s appearance when it is in the form of ascorbic acid or citric acid. But the review also says that the different amounts of vitamin C in other foods make it hard to measure its effects. 

But the researchers also found that vitamin C has almost no side effects, and mixing it with other options may make it work better. Applying grapefruit, lemon, or papaya, all good sources of vitamin C, to the skin may help increase the antioxidants on the surface and make the skin cells lighter over time.

People who want to get rid of pigmentation can use these sources and other home remedies to get better results. It’s important to note that vitamin C doesn’t get into the skin very well.

Face acids

Face acids, also called skin acids, work by removing the top layer of dead skin. When you exfoliate your skin, new skin cells grow to replace the ones that have been removed. The process makes your skin tone more even and smoother all over.

Retinoids

Retinoids are made from vitamin A and are one of the oldest over-the-counter skincare ingredients. Because they are made of small molecules, they can get deep into the skin and treat the layers below the epidermis.

Retinoids can be bought with a prescription or over-the-counter (OTC). But over-the-counter versions tend to be less intense. If you don’t see results after a few months, talk to your physician about the prescription retinoid tretinoin (Retin-A).

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) (IPL)

IPL therapy is a fractional laser treatment that doesn’t hurt the skin. IPL therapy also called a “photofacial,” makes collagen grow in the dermis. It usually takes more than one session.

IPL is generally used to fix pigmentation problems but works best on flat spots. It may also make wrinkles, spider veins, and large pores less noticeable.

Vitiligo Treatment

Vitiligo is a long-term condition in which the skin gets pale white patches. It happens because the skin’s pigment, melanin, is missing. Vitiligo can happen on any skin side, but it usually affects the face, neck, hands, and skin folds.

Kay Aesthetics Dermatology is a treatment that can help you with this concern. After looking at lab tests to see if the patient has any other similar conditions, our dermatologist can use narrowband ultraviolet light to treat this loss of pigment. 

The longer you wait to start the method, the more likely your pigmentation will return.

Treat your skin better.

The majority of the time, irregular skin pigmentation is a cosmetic issue that poses no serious hazard to health other than potentially making the individual feel unattractive.

Several home remedies and therapies may aid in reducing the appearance of skin hyperpigmentation. However, there is little data on the impact of several of these products on humans.

If home cures for pigmentation are ineffective, individuals might visit a physician to discuss medical options. Schedule an appointment at Kay Aesthetics Dermatology to help you serve better. We can’t wait to meet and connect with you!
