Skin spots

Skin spots are circumscribed areas of the skin with a darker color.

The dark coloring is due to an excess of melanin, a pigment that gives color to the skin.

How are skin spots formed?

1

The formation of the darker pigment starts from an amino acid (l-tyrosine) and ends with the formation of melanin (dark pigment).

2

The melanin pigment is arranged in granules in the melanocytes (cells that contain the melanin pigment).

3

From melanocytes it passes to epidermal cells (skin cells) and the pigment becomes visible on our skin.

4

The melanin pigment is concentrated only in certain areas of the skin, forming spots.
