Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of long spots on the face:

1, chloasma

Chinese medicine said dark spots, light brown or dark brown patches, patch sizes vary, border cleaning, irregular lines, no higher than the skin, no obvious conscious, but affect the appearance. It occurs mostly on the face and is distributed symmetrically in the plaque, nose, cheeks, and mouth. More common in middle-aged women. The color depth has a certain seasonality, the summer color is aggravated, and the winter is lighter. Chloasma is a skin problem of middle-aged women with a headache, and the spotted spots make the beautiful white skin go away. The main factors leading to the formation of chloasma: external causes are mainly UV damage, and internal factors are related to endocrine. Chloasma can be divided into:

2, liver spots

Hepatic cirrhosis, hepatitis, liver function and other liver diseases, caused by dark skin and facial pigmentation. (Traditional Chinese medicine is called liver qi stagnation type: it means sorrowful anger and anger, affection of the liver and stagnation and stagnation.)

3, pregnancy spots

Hormone levels are unstable. Theoretical circles have demonstrated that estrogen is too high to stimulate melanocytes, and the secretion of melanin particles is increased. Progesterone can promote pigmentation. Women have increased progesterone and estrogen during pregnancy and have spots due to endocrine changes. In addition, the pituitary gland, adrenal gland, gonad and thyroid have a great influence on the amount of melanin secreted. (Traditional Chinese medicine is called kidney deficiency and fire dryness type: it is gestational pregnancy and childbirth, too many sexual intercourse, long-term illness and loss of yin deficiency, water does not make fire, fire dry face and spot.)

4, butterfly spots

It often occurs with the nose and the cheeks, in the form of butterflies. Long-term mental stress, depression, lack of sleep, fatigue will reduce the ability of the skin to resist ultraviolet rays, leading to facial sun spots and dark spots. (Chinese medicine is called spleen deficiency and weak blood type: it refers to excessive fatigue, diet is not good, thinking about hurting the spleen, wet heat and resistance to the surface and forming brown spots)

5, sunburn

Long-wave ultraviolet radiation can make the skin black (called tanning phenomenon), medium-wave ultraviolet rays, can cause deep skin burns, causing redness and blistering (called sunburn phenomenon). Ultraviolet radiation is an important cause of a dramatic increase in pigmentation and precipitation into pigmentation. The skin is strongly exposed to ultraviolet light, and the skin's self-protection function works to produce a large amount of melanin to resist the "aggression" of ultraviolet rays. Pigmentation leaves unsightly spots on the face or makes freckles worse. (Traditional Chinese medicine is called wind-heated skin type: it refers to sun exposure, wind and heat, poisonous evil accumulation of skin and stasis into spots.)

6, freckles

It is a common lossy skin. His occurrence is often related to heredity. Parents have freckles on one side, and children have a genetic chance of 50%. The surface is smooth, not higher than the skin, no self-conscious symptoms, easy to concentrate on the nose, individual face all over, usually began to appear in adolescence, it is likely to accompany life, this spot can not be forcibly treated by drugs, but with the help of The skin care products are slowly faded, and the color of freckles deepens after sun exposure, and fades in autumn and winter.

7, traumatic dark spots

In the early years, in order to quickly eliminate the pigment on the face, the people used some strong bleaching ingredients and strongly exfoliated; long-term external use of hormonal ointments and products containing heavy metal components caused cumulative poisoning of the skin, which not only caused damage to the skin. Heavy metals are also precipitated in the skin, making the skin easy to form melanin, and the original elegant toxins are combined to cause black skin disease that is difficult to cure. (Chinese medicine is called irritating skin)

8, chronic disease spots

People suffering from chronic relapse (such as attachment inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, etc.). Suffering from liver disease, tuberculosis, chronic gastritis, oncology, and long-term use of contraceptives, the immunity is reduced, leading to facial sun spots and dark spots.
