What Do Small Dark Brown Spots On Face Indicate?

I have sudden appearance of multiple tiny to small size dark brown spots on my face. . what could it possibly be? I had a flu/cold around the same time. I also was using a skincare product with an ingredient from MAKARI products called Organiclarine. The cold/flu is gone and after 3 weeks of not using the product, the spots are still present. Help.

Hi,

I can understand your concern for marks. These marks can be due activity of melanocytes in the superficial epidermal layer of skin or due to sun tanning also.

Lightening agents such as Kojic acid or azelaic acid cream application which you can use under dermatological guidance. So considering the above facts you can apply these cream but only under dermatological supervision.

The most important part in treatment is by sun protection by all measures. Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem of pigmentation can be dealt best for future time. Eat healthy diet containing lot of Vitamin A and Vitamin C.

Take care
