Dark Spots

Dark spots are also called hyperpigmentation. It is caused due to acne scars, excessive sun exposure, and hormonal changes.

It is treated by taking Hydroquinone creams and Retinoid solutions. Another option that is used to lighten the dark spot is laser treatment and chemical exfoliators.
