Freckles

Freckles are flat, beige, brown circular spots that typically are the size of the head of a metal nail. The spots are multiple and may develop on sun-exposed skin after repeated exposure to sunlight. These are particularly common in people with fair complexion. They may appear on children as young as 1 or 2 years of age. Most freckles are generally uniform in color but can vary somewhat in color — they may be reddish, yellow, tan, light brown, brown, or black — but they are basically slightly darker than the surrounding skin.

Acne / Pimples

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It often causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples, and usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. It is not caused by bacteria, although bacteria play a role in its development. It is not unusual for some women to develop acne in their mid- to late-20s.

Sensitive

Sensitive skin is caused by nerve endings in the top layer of skin becoming irritated. This occurs because your skin’s natural barrier function is weakened and has broken down due to a trigger.

Age Spots

Age spots —are small dark areas on your skin. They vary in size and usually appear on the face, hands, shoulders and arms — areas most exposed to the sun. It’s very common in adults older than 50. But younger people can get them too, especially if they spend a lot of time in the sun.

Sebaceous Hyperplasia

These bumps are harmless and often appear on the forehead and cheeks. There are sebaceous glands all over the body, and the bumps can form almost anywhere. They are more common in middle-aged and older people, but they can show up at any age.People may be more likely to develop sebaceous hyperplasia if they have a family history. People with suppressed immune systems and those taking the immunosuppressant medication cyclosporine may have a higher risk of developing sebaceous hyperplasia.

Melasma

Melasma is a common pigmentation disorder that causes brown or gray patches to appear on the skin, primarily on the face.  It may be due to the malfunction of the melanocytes (the color-making cells) in the skin, causing them to produce too much color.  As a result, people with darker skin tones are more likely to develop melasma, as they have more melanocytes than people with lighter skin.
