What's the matter with black spots on the calves?

Summer is here, and pretty girls like to expose their calves. Having a pair of beautiful calves will increase your rate of turning heads, and beautiful legs will also show your figure when you wear clothes. However, as you age, women in middle-aged and elderly age will grow some black spots on their calves. Don't be anxious at this time, as this is normal. The older you are, the worse the metabolism in your body, which will form melanin. Let me introduce to you what causes black spots on your calves?

Age spots are brown-black in color, with diameters mostly ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm. They vary in size, with large spots reaching 2-3 cm in diameter. Most do not protrude above the skin, while some large spots (moles) also protrude above the skin and are flat in shape. They are composed of lipofuscin pigments and are prone to occur on the face, back of hands, calves, insteps, trunk and other normally exposed skin of the elderly. People usually call them "longevity spots", which are medically called senile pigment spots (moles).

Under normal circumstances, age spots do not cause any harm to the body and do not cause any discomfort, so no treatment is required. It is necessary to have a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables, and it is best to keep the intake of animal fat and plant fat at 1:2; eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

The main causes of dark spots are melanin deposition, endocrine disorders, mental stress, digestive system disorders or poor liver function, etc.

To treat dark spots, you need to use the correct method, which must take both the inside and outside into consideration and be scientific and reasonable. Commonly used methods include: (1) Avoid direct sunlight, especially in the summer when ultraviolet rays can cause great damage to facial skin. Be sure to take precautions when going out. (2) Eat more foods rich in vitamin C. Such as strawberries, tomatoes, watermelons, oranges, bayberries, red dates and other fruits and green leafy vegetables. Supplement vitamin E in moderation. Avoid eating spicy foods such as peppers and garlic. (3) Be optimistic and cheerful, smile often. Avoid staying up late for a long time and pay attention to replenishing water.

Eat less food containing pigments. It is recommended to make cucumber or bitter melon masks several times. Pay attention to avoid direct sunlight on the face. Wear a sun hat or umbrella when going out. You can also apply sunscreen on exposed parts. Eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C. Go to beauty salons regularly for freckle removal care. Live a regular life. Go to bed and get up early. Freckles are mostly caused by dry skin. Choose cosmetics such as emulsions or almond milk, moisturize the skin, and avoid sunlight in summer.

Age spots, also known as seborrheic keratosis, are related to decreased metabolism and excessive sun exposure, and often occur in areas that are exposed for a long time. Age spots that have already appeared can be removed with laser, and the effect is quite good. To prevent the appearance of age spots, we must start with the two causes. We must get enough sleep, exercise more, maintain a good mood, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid smoking and drinking, avoid greasy and spicy food, and take vitamin CE tablets orally.
