What Causes Dark Spots On Skin?
'Dark spots on the skin', 'melasma', 'post inflammatory hyperpigmentation' - what ARE these things? If you've ever wondered what the causes of dark spots on the skin are, watch this!
In this video, Dr. Syed talks through the 3 most common causes of dark spots on the skin, also known as 'hyperpigmentation', that he sees in his clinic. He explains what normal pigmentation in the skin looks like, why we sometimes get dark spots, and what the potential treatment strategies for these are.

What an amazing explanation!! Thanks for this video. I just discover what’s going on to my husband (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and to my mom (melasma). Any doctor hasn’t diagnosed to my husband about his current skin condition, and he has visited a lot of dermatologists. This content is gold.

PIH is extremely common so I doubt multiple dermatologists didn’t recognize what it was. Did your husband specifically request the derm address it? If not, they are likely not to mention it unless it bothers you because it’s mostly a cosmetic concern. Same with cherry angiomas or solar lentingines. They know what it is. They just don’t both addressing it or “diagnosing” it if it doesn’t bother you and you don’t specifically request to have it corrected.
Please make a video on daily skin care routine, what products must be used daily to keep skin fresh , glowing and how to lighten the dark spots
Such an informative video and so well explained!!

Hi, found you on KZread and loving all your videos. Do you recommend The Ordinary brand ? I started using the Grandactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion since I never took care of my face by using sunscreen and now I have sun damage as dark spots. Thanks in advance!!
Ah, OK. Thank you Doctor. It is so clear. God bless you.

Ok… I have spots from sun ( I know, I know… but I lived in Hawaii as a child and hard to avoid the sun…and my parents didn’t know… and it was in the 70’s and 80’s…tanning was normal!)😱😭 My dermatologist says “age spots are normal” and doesn’t treat… he did have surgery done on one of my spots on my temple..so now what? Just live with it? He says yes. Sigh…..😢
