Pigmented lesions are abnormal skin marks or spots that appear darker than the surrounding skin. These conditions occur due to the overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Common types of pigmented lesions include freckles, age spots, moles, melasma, and seborrheic keratosis. While some of these lesions are harmless and may simply reflect natural aging or sun exposure, others could be indicative of skin conditions that require attention, such as melanoma. Regular skin checks and monitoring any changes in size, shape, or color can help detect and treat any issues early, promoting long-term skin health.
