What causes dark spots on legs?
Black spots on legs can happen to many things. There are five main reasons for dark spots. These reasons are Sunburn, Diabetes, Melanoma skin cancer, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Sunburn
Sunlight produces more melanin when it reacts with the skin. Staying too long under the sun can cause dark spots.
That’s why it is important to use sunscreen when you go out.
Diabetes
People who have diabetes have to get insulin. As a result, too much insulin can increase blood flow. This can cause dark spots.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Acne, eczema, or skin injury can cause inflammation. When you get acne, to prevent the bacteria from running out, the body throws a fibrous wall around it.
The white blood cells and the bacteria fight with each other. They throw biochemicals at each other, which destroy the dermis.
During the healing process, the body throws off pigmentation. This is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. And melanin has two pathways, a red and a brown.
Melanin uses brown pathways, which is why we have dark spots. If you have acne, then don’t just pop these; it will get worse.
Melanoma
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer characterized by the appearance of dark spots. It can develop anywhere on the body, but is most commonly found in males. In females, it often appears on the legs, while in males, it is frequently seen on the face.
Melanoma may cause itches to change color.
How do you know if you have or do not have melanoma skin cancer?
