It&#8217;s more common in women than in men, and it&#8217;s more visible in darkly pigmented races than on other skin types. Although the specs aren&#8217;t a symptom of any health issues, they can be frightening, especially if they show in huge numbers. Here are the causes of this disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CAUSES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00b0<\/strong> The source of the eruption is unknown, however, sun exposure could be a factor. The number of melanocytes and the number of melanin granules in the afflicted epidermis are both reduced histologically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00b0<\/strong> Another aspect is age. It can appear in young women, however, it is most common in people over the age of 40.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00b0<\/strong> Trauma and genetics can play a role in the development of white spots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PREVENTION AND TREATMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00b0<\/strong> The first step in preventing it is to avoid excessive sun exposure or to constantly apply sunscreen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00b0<\/strong> Laser therapy or calcineurin inhibitors may be used.
