Wear sunscreen
As mentioned above, wearing sunscreen every day can help prevent sun damage and the appearance of sunspots.

Avoid picking at your skin
Picking at acne or other types of skin irritation can increase your risk of developing PIH.

Treat acne promptly
Treating acne as soon as it appears can help prevent the development of PIH.

Be cautious with certain medications
Some medications, such as certain antibiotics and antiseizure medications, can increase your risk of developing hyperpigmentation. If you are taking these medications, talk to your doctor about ways to minimize your risk.

Manage hormonal changes
If you are pregnant or taking birth control pills, talk to your doctor about ways to manage hormonal changes that can cause melasma.

Eat a healthy diet
Eating a diet rich in antioxidants and other nutrients can help support healthy skin and reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.

While it is not harmful to your health, it can be a source of frustration and self-consciousness. Fortunately, there are several treatments available that can help fade and prevent the appearance of dark spots on the skin. By taking steps to protect your skin from the sun, treating skin irritation promptly, and managing hormonal changes, you can reduce your risk of developing hyperpigmentation and develop healthier, more radiant skin.
