Pigmentation spots and sundamaged skin
There is no explenation as to why pigmentation spots only appear on some women. Some women get light, dark or white spots on the face. Most commonly the pigmentation spots appear on the cheeks or forehead but they can also appear on the hairline or upper lip. Some pigmentation spots are caused by the bodys hormones, pregnant women or women who eat birth control pills are prone to get pigmentation spots, nowadays birth control pills are given in lower doses so it is not a as common cause as it used to be. Pigmentation spots used to be called chloasma "pregnancymask". Melasma looks about the same, and often occurs because of exposure to sun and the use of chemical preparation. Some medicine together with exposure to sunlight can cause pigmentation spots. Age spots come with age and are a mix of hormonal and sundamaged skin. Age spots are common with both men and women.
