What are pigmentation disorders
Brownish or whitish shifts in skin pigmentation, very common on sun-exposed areas such as the face and décolleté. These include, for example, age spots, freckles or brownish pigmented scars.
How do they develop
They arise from irregular accumulations of pigment in the skin and are often intensified – or even caused – by sun exposure.
