What should I do if there are spots next to my eyes

Long spots next to the eyes can be improved through sun protection care, topical medication, laser treatment, chemical exfoliation, surgical resection, and other methods. Long spots next to the eyes may be related to factors such as ultraviolet radiation, endocrine disorders, skin inflammation, genetic factors, melanoma, etc.

1. Sunscreen Care

Long term exposure to ultraviolet rays may induce or worsen pigmentation. It is necessary to use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF30 or above in daily life, and wear a sun hat or sunglasses when going out. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight during the period of intense ultraviolet radiation from 10am to 4pm. People with sensitive skin can choose physical sunscreen ingredients such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

2. Local application

Hydroquinone cream can inhibit tyrosinase activity and reduce melanin synthesis, suitable for melasma and post inflammatory pigmentation. Vitamin A yogurt cream can promote epidermal replacement and improve sunspots caused by sunlight. In the early stages of use, there may be flaking and it is necessary to strengthen moisturizing. Tranexamic acid tablets can block the melanin formation pathway and have a certain effect on stubborn pigmentation, but caution should be taken against the risk of thrombosis.

3. Laser therapy

Q-switched laser decomposes melanin particles through selective photothermal action, and has a significant effect on dermal lesions such as Ota nevus. Intense pulsed light can improve epidermal pigmentation, and temporary erythema may occur in the posterior area after treatment. Dot matrix laser stimulates collagen remodeling through micro thermal damage and is suitable for pigmentation associated with skin aging.

4. Chemical exfoliation

Glycolic acid skin changing uses a concentration of 20% -70% glycolic acid to promote keratin shedding, which has a good effect on freckles and sunspots. Trichloroacetic acid can penetrate to the superficial layer of the dermis to treat stubborn pigmentation. After surgery, strict sun protection is necessary to avoid blackening. Salicylic acid has dual anti-inflammatory and exfoliating effects, making it suitable for oily skin with pigmentation.

5. Surgical resection

For suspected melanoma lesions with a diameter exceeding 6 millimeters and irregular morphology, complete resection is required and sent for pathological examination. Mohs microscopic imaging surgery can accurately remove tumor tissue and preserve normal skin to the greatest extent possible. When the postoperative defect is large, skin flap transfer or skin grafting can be used for repair.

It is necessary to maintain a regular daily routine to avoid endocrine disorders, and consume more citrus fruits and dark vegetables rich in vitamin C. Gently reduce friction and irritation when washing your face, choose mild amino acid cleansing products. If the plaque enlarges, changes color or is accompanied by bleeding and itching in the short term, it should be immediately examined for malignant lesions at a dermatologist. During the treatment period, strictly follow the doctor's advice for re examination, and do not add or remove medication or interrupt the course of treatment on your own.
