Reasons for Skin Discoloration

Skin discolorations can appear on the skin due to excess scar tissue and darkened areas from acne breakouts, bug bites, scratches, or skin thickening caused by a thyroid disease. These discolorations vary in their severity and treatment.

Acne Scars

Acne scars can be caused when people pick or pop acne blemishes, which can cause damages to the tissues in the skin. Scarring can be severe, and treatment involves regular exfoliation or laser resurfacing.

Bug Bite Discolorations

Bug bites from spiders, ants, or other insects can cause inflamed areas on teh skin that can sometimes blister. Once healed, bug bites can leave behind unsightly areas of scarring. Massaging vitamin E oil onto the skin can help reduce the appearance of bug bite scars.

Thickened Skin

Thyroid disease can cause the skin to become thicken and rough in appearance. Treatment usually involves hormone replacements and daily skin massage.

Sun Burn Hyperpigmentation

Sun burns can be painful and can sometimes cause the skin to blister and peel. Once the burn dissipates, it can leave the skin discolored. Daily exfoliation and toning with lemon juice can help eliminate burn discolorations.

Skin Injury Scarring

Discolorations can happen when the skin suffers an injury, such as a scrape or a bruise. Massaging the skin with vitamin E oil can help reduce the severity of the scarring and discoloration on the skin.
