Pigmentation And Redness Conditions —
Brown, Grey And Red, Sorted

Pigmentation and redness conditions look alike in a mirror but sit at different depths and have different causes, so each has its own page here. Start with the mark you see, then read the treatments, comparisons and skincare that suit it.

Reading Pigmentation And Redness Conditions

Brown marks are usually melanin near the surface; grey or bluish marks sit deeper; red marks are blood vessels, not pigment. Melasma often sits alongside the others and changes the whole plan, because heat can darken it. For treatment options by pigment type, start with pigmentation removal.

A spot that is new, changing, raised or unlike its neighbours is examined before any cosmetic treatment, and referred for a biopsy where needed.
