Why do I have spots on my skin? The causes
Why do I have spots on my skin? The causes
The appearance of skin blemishes is due to an alteration in the functioning of melanocytes, responsible for the production of melatonin. The latter is the pigment that gives a healthy and uniform color to our skin. However, if an alteration occurs in the synthesis of the pigment, melatonin will no longer be distributed uniformly or will be produced in excessive quantities, as a result we will have the appearance of skin spots.
The real question to ask is therefore: what causes an alteration in the production of melatonin ? The causes can be different.
- First of all there is biological aging . In fact, as time passes, the production of melatonin becomes scarce and so skin blemishes appear on people's skin.
- Lifestyle and environmental factors represent another important cause of the appearance of spots: smog, smoking, lack of protection from UV rays are all determining factors.
- Finally, hormonal changes are another important element to take into consideration. This phenomenon also explains why women who complain of the appearance of the first skin blemishes are often found in the period preceding the onset of menopause.
