What are the causes of dark spots on the calf skin?

From a clinical perspective, there are two reasons for the appearance of dark spots on the calves. One is that the leg injury is not treated in time, which leads to aggravated skin pigmentation. The other is that with the continuous increase of age, the body's metabolism begins to slow down, and the waste in the body cannot be discharged in time, which finally causes the formation of dark spots. It can be seen that if you want to get rid of dark spots as soon as possible, you must increase exercise appropriately and promote blood circulation in the body.

1. Dark spots on the calf skin

The first is caused by trauma that leads to increased local skin melanin deposition, which is more common in patients who have suffered trauma to their lower legs. Moreover, if it is a minor trauma but is not treated in time and becomes infected, black spots will be left behind.

The second reason is similar to the cause of age spots, but it does not only occur in the elderly. Due to slow metabolism, too much waste accumulates on the skin and if it is not eliminated in time, it will accumulate on the skin and form dark spots.

1. Supplement a lot of vitamin C

When you find dark spots on your face, you should immediately supplement with vitamin C. Vitamin C has the effect of detoxification, anti-inflammation, and diluting melanin. Take a certain amount of vitamin C every day, eat some fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, and avoid ultraviolet rays on the skin, the dark spots will gradually disappear. If you stop taking vitamin C pills for a long time, it can easily lead to vitamin C deficiency, so it is recommended to stop taking it slowly or replace the pills with vitamin C foods, but the effect will not be so significant. Foods containing vitamin C: kiwi, lemon, grapefruit, cauliflower, amaranth, guava, cherry, strawberry, green pepper, spinach, etc.

The damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin cannot be ignored, especially for people with dark spots on their faces. They should try to avoid standing in places with strong ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet rays will cause pigmentation on the skin surface. In addition, people will apply cosmetics on their face, which contain many ingredients that can easily cause chemical reactions and accelerate the formation of dark spots. So be sure to pay attention to sun protection.
