Dark Spots refer to areas of hyperpigmentation on the skin, often caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation. They appear as flat, discolored patches that are darker than the surrounding skin. These spots can be found on the face, hands, arms, and other sun-exposed areas. Dark spots can be a result of age-related skin changes, acne scars, or melasma. They are a common concern for individuals seeking to achieve a more even skin tone and complexion.
