What causes nose pigmentation?

Many factors cause pigmentation on the face and nose. Some of them are:

• Sun damage
• Pregnancy
• Hormonal imbalance
• Poor diet
• Stress
• Smoking
• Underlying medical issues
• Insect bites
• Trauma or accidents.

Can nose pigmentation be prevented?

In most cases, nose pigmentation cannot be fully prevented. Some people are likely to develop it due to their genetics, skin colour type, changes in hormones, and excessive sun exposure.

Using sunscreen, avoiding sun exposure during peak hours, and taking medication advised by the Best Skin Specialist in South Delhi at DermoRita can help prevent pigmentation flares and reduce their occurrence after treatment.

Can nose pigmentation be treated?

Several medications and procedures are available to manage nose pigmentation.

• Topical creams or lotions may include kojic acid, niacinamide, tranexamic acid, etc. They help reduce pigment production and even skin pigmentation by reducing the blood vessels that trigger pigmentation. Pregnant women must use the medications only after consulting a dermatologist.
• Chemical peels, such as glycolic, salicylic, and alpha-hydroxy acids, are used to remove pigmentation. The peels remove the superficial skin layer, which contains excess dark pigmentation. Multiple peel sessions are recommended for the best results.
• The laser heat targets the pigmentation and destroys pigment cells, helping lighten the dark spots. Multiple sessions of laser treatment are recommended for the best outcomes.

Sometimes, these treatments are combined for the best results.
