What is a brown mark or spot on my face?
Hyperpigmentation, sun damage, age spot, uneven darker skin tone
The majority of melanin producing cells called "melanocytes" (me - la - no - sites) are located in the bottom layer of the epidermis injecting clear cells traveling to the surface of your skin with color. The epidermis forms the surface of your skin and is the same thickness as a silk scarf without blood vessels or nerve endings. If you cut yourself and bleed you have gone through the epidermis into the dermal layer of your skin.
A living melanocyte cell spends it whole life giving your body its natural color, dead cells leave a permanent white area, and over active ones produce a color darker than your natural skin tone. Over active cells unlike over active children who can out grow the condition remain touchy for life. Dr. Kligman, co-inventor of Retin-A, believes a brown sun spot will usually reappear after one year from "cell memory" leaving the patient on a continual or sporadic maintenance program for control.
White and skin of color doesn’t differ in the number of melanocyte cells but with the rate and abundance of melanin being produced for color. Darker skin types produce melanin at a faster rate to darken skin - the plus being a great sun shield for aging, the minus sensitivity to injury. A mere bump on the leg, a hat or sun visor band on the forehead, rubbing eyes from allergies will produces brown marks from the fast acting melanocyte cells.
A skin bleach will remove, improve and control the darkening by slowing the melanocyte color production until your brown areas have disappeared. We use the leading skin bleach ingredient 2% hydroquinone known for its fast and reliable results which should be seen in the first three weeks, if no improvement in three months discontinue and see your doctor.
Protect your skin from sun exposure and fluorescent lights that stimulated your brown spots to return possibly giving the impression your skin bleach is not working.
Hemosiderin (he-mo-sid-er-in) pigment derives its color from iron in the blood turning tissue a cooper, brownish-red color common in the lower legs after an injury or surgery. If the body can not remove this pigment the discoloration or stain is permanent, no known medical treatment is available.
