Will iodine cause pigmentation?

As we all know, iodine is a drug used for disinfection. When you have a wound or an infection on your body, you need to use iodine tincture for disinfection. The effect of iodine disinfection is very good and can effectively prevent wound inflammation. However, the color of iodine tincture is very dark, so many people suspect that there may be too much pigment in iodine tincture, and it is even very likely that there is pigment precipitation. So, is there any pigmentation in iodine?

Pigmentation is a change in the pigmentation of human skin that causes the skin to appear in different colors, ranges and depths due to various reasons. In human skin, there are two types of pigments:

One type is pigments produced by the human body itself, such as melanin produced by melanocytes in the skin. Melanin appears in different tones due to the different depths of its location: black or brown in the epidermis, gray-blue in the shallow dermis, and cyan in the deep dermis. Other endogenous pigments include lipopigments, bile pigments, etc.

The other type is coloring caused by exogenous foreign pigments, such as carotene (carotenemia), drugs (such as atrazine which can cause yellowing of the skin), heavy metals (such as arsenic, bismuth, silver, etc. deposits), and foreign bodies, such as tattoos, mud, iron slag, coal slag, etc. deposits on the skin.

Treatment situation: The treatment of skin pigmentation should naturally start from two aspects: one is the treatment of the cause, and the other is local symptomatic treatment. The latter uses physical or chemical methods to remove local pigments. From the above analysis of the causes of pigmentation, it is not difficult to see that hereditary and tumor diseases have clear causes, are less affected by internal factors, and local treatment can often achieve satisfactory results. Common types of diseases include various types of pigmented nevi, moles, blue nevi, nevus of Ota, nevus of Iten, pigmented hairy epidermal nevus, coffee spots, freckles, age spots, etc.

1. Use non-irritating skin care products for regular maintenance.

2. For dark spots with small areas, you can first use melanotherapy (i.e. drug spot therapy or laser spot therapy and then use some drugs that can control the formation of melanin and accelerate cell metabolism.)

3. During treatment, be sure to isolate the source of irritation and use internal adjustments and external treatments.

The spots caused by internal factors include: chloasma, age spots, dark spots, etc. The treatment method is the same as above, except that the dosage can be increased as appropriate, and the course of treatment can be prolonged, with the main focus being oral administration of Li'ermei Spot Removal Capsules. Although "skin resurfacing", which is exfoliation of the skin's epidermis, is popular in many beauty salons in today's society, it is not a good way to solve pigmentation. Because when skin cells lose their immune function, the human body will secrete a large amount of black spots to protect the damaged cells. However, a large amount of black spots will destroy the immunity of the cells, making the spots more serious, so it is not advisable.

5. Use an electric ion therapy machine or a spot scanner to shallowly burn the freckles. Another method is to use cosmetic grinding to treat freckles. Suitable for people with fair skin, dense freckles and large areas. Since the spots of freckles are relatively shallow, grinding only requires gently removing the epidermis to destroy the melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis, thus achieving an ideal therapeutic effect.

6. With the development of cosmetic plastic surgery, drug shedding has also emerged. Usually a phenol preparation is applied to the freckles on the face. After the drug acts on the freckles on the skin, a layer of scab will be produced. After about 5 to 7 days, the scab will fall off by itself and the freckles will disappear. This method is less painful, simple and easy to perform, and has definite effects. It can also remove fine facial wrinkles and small uneven scars, making the facial skin rosy and plump.
