disorder. But how does the skin get its pigments? In the upper layer of the skin, pigment-forming cells called <strong>melanocytes<\/strong> produce the color-giving substance. This is melanin. This prevents harmful UV radiation from penetrating into deeper layers of the skin and at the same time provides a skin tan. When a disturbance of the natural process occurs, by distributing it unevenly, color changes appear. As a result, a pigment spot is formed. Here we distinguish two forms:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Hyperpigmentation<\/strong>: melanin is present in excess, resulting in increased pigmentation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Depigmentation<\/strong>: Pigmentation is reduced or completely absent (loss of pigment).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av-layout-grid-1'  class='av-layout-grid-container av-20w8i-6683d2926560af71e8dc8241988dd403 entry-content-wrapper alternate_color av-flex-cells  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  raufm grid-row-not-first  container_wrap sidebar_right'  >\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-15jau-59853d7a32beb3e207a5a9aaed43fb88\">\n.flex_cell.av-15jau-59853d7a32beb3e207a5a9aaed43fb88{\nvertical-align:middle;\nbackground-color:#5e1216;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-15jau-59853d7a32beb3e207a5a9aaed43fb88{\npadding:6vw 18.6vw 36px 10.42vw !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-15jau-59853d7a32beb3e207a5a9aaed43fb88 av-gridrow-cell av_one_full no_margin  avia-builder-el-15  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  text-2-3 content-align-middle'  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3tvdmk-e16f4a5b0a9f7753c084bfffb19d1620\">\n.flex_column.av-3tvdmk-e16f4a5b0a9f7753c084bfffb19d1620{\npadding:36px 0 0 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3tvdmk-e16f4a5b0a9f7753c084bfffb19d1620 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-16  el_before_av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  autorbox first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lcluwv84-cda72b6a3a4356e19451dc783369dba5\">\n.av_font_icon.av-lcluwv84-cda72b6a3a4356e19451dc783369dba5 .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:100px;\nline-height:100px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-lcluwv84-cda72b6a3a4356e19451dc783369dba5 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-center avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue83f' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2wttjw-c4f2a674d099d9ce38de99ef89278acf\">\n.flex_column.av-2wttjw-c4f2a674d099d9ce38de99ef89278acf{\npadding:15px 0 0 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2wttjw-c4f2a674d099d9ce38de99ef89278acf av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  autorbox flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lcl0ai39-00bfffdb61693a69d6ef9aa03a266283\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lcl0ai39-00bfffdb61693a69d6ef9aa03a266283{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lcl0ai39-00bfffdb61693a69d6ef9aa03a266283 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lcl0ai39-00bfffdb61693a69d6ef9aa03a266283 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lcl0ai39-00bfffdb61693a69d6ef9aa03a266283 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-19  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >When pigment spots become a problem<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lcl0a875-43ca52a6ad8a5e8d51fc7b61fd90f9e7 '  ><div class='avia_textblock einruck halfwidth1 av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Pigmentary changes usually occur on areas of the body that are not covered by clothing.

Signs of this are areas of the skin where the color is too weak or too strong. An excess of melanin is manifested by enormously pigmented changes (brownish spots). In contrast, there is melanin deficiency, which results in absent or weak or whitish coloration of the skin (depigmentation).<\/p>\n<p>The color changes may occur on several body regions or be localized. Some affect the entire skin surface. Symptoms vary in severity depending on the form, as pigmented spots differ in symmetry, size, color and expression. Excessive pigmentation manifests itself, for example, in the form of <strong>liver spots, birthmarks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/en\/age-spots\/\">age spots<\/a><\/strong> or <strong>freckles<\/strong>. A pigment disorder in which too little melanin is produced results, for example, in white spot disease or albinism.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-3a0zx1-4c17b9c4b7335693745499d84832a37d av_one_full  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last  nachrechtsmittig first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-33q591-396ddea2ea9044e028f979a3b52c1860\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-33q591-396ddea2ea9044e028f979a3b52c1860{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-33q591-396ddea2ea9044e028f979a3b52c1860 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-33q591-396ddea2ea9044e028f979a3b52c1860 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-33q591-396ddea2ea9044e028f979a3b52c1860 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-26  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >What causes pigment spots<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-2shdhp-16cca2c7deff4f505fbf68b55feb5a71 '  ><div class='avia_textblock einruck halfwidth2 av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Pigment spots always have something to do with an imbalance in melanin production. In women, hormonal influences often cause spots. The female hormones progesterone and estrogen are considered to be mainly responsible. Therefore, it happens that during pregnancy skin discoloration suddenly appears. Sometimes they regress, but in most cases the pigment disorder can only be removed by treatment. Especially on the face, they are often perceived as unaesthetic.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, skin lesions can lead to skin discoloration. Medically, we refer to this as postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. Most often this occurs after inflammatory processes such as psoriasis or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/akne\">acne<\/a>. Due to the inflammation, the skin cells work at full speed and send out an excessive amount of pigment grains. After the inflammation has healed, the skin stains remain as an unwanted souvenir.<\/p>\n<p>The natural process of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/en\/skin-aging\/\">skin ageing<\/a> is also responsible for its development. Especially with regular and excessive contact with sun rays skin discoloration is formed. As a result, the activity of skin cells increases by releasing a lot of melanin. This leads, for example, to age spots, which are characterized as unpleasant by most of those affected. With high sun exposure, especially the face, d\u00e9collet\u00e9, neck and hands are affected by it<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l4qtm9py-4edd69b967b69a0d9c810048754a69ce\">\n.avia-section.av-l4qtm9py-4edd69b967b69a0d9c810048754a69ce{\nbackground-color:#b86a6a;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-l4qtm9py-4edd69b967b69a0d9c810048754a69ce alternate_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-28  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  beachten-behandlung avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-3376'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1z47md-20b09e6a8485e31864f02f21bed52f84 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-29  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l4qtkrei-92d892bb15f67e6d6e451d57f889f124\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-l4qtkrei-92d892bb15f67e6d6e451d57f889f124{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-l4qtkrei-92d892bb15f67e6d6e451d57f889f124 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l4qtkrei-92d892bb15f67e6d6e451d57f889f124 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-l4qtkrei-92d892bb15f67e6d6e451d57f889f124 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-30  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >When should pigment spots be treated<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lcl04hod-328abe8b8c5da78869871b3c398a7f49 '  ><div class='avia_textblock einruck halfwidth2 av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The problem: laypersons are often unable to distinguish or are confused as to whether it is a harmless birthmark or a serious skin change. That is why it makes sense to have regular check-ups with a dermatologist. With a thorough skin check, the doctor can usually give the all-clear or even detect and treat malignant skin changes at an early stage.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the skin screenings, it is important to keep an eye on the skin itself. Here, the ABCDE rule provides optimal assistance in the assessment of pigment changes (see: When pigment spots become a problem). Likewise, there are reasons for the treatment of pigment spots that are purely aesthetic.
