■Major Causes of Men's Spots
Men's spots may have the following causes
- Insufficient UV protection
- Irritating to skin
- lack of skin care
The main factor that causes blemishes is ultraviolet radiation. When our bodies are exposed to UV rays, they produce black melanin deep within the skin to protect the skin. The large amount of melanin produced is later pushed to the surface of the skin as spots. Therefore, men who do not use sunscreen or other UV protection will be more prone to develop spots.
Also,Irritation to the skin from shaving and scrubbing the faceand lack of proper skin care are also causes of blemishes. If left unattended, lack of moisturizing leads to a weakening of the skin's barrier function, which can lead to significant UV damage. The result of continued skin irritation without moisturizing care could be the appearance of huge dark spots.

The two main types of spots that tend to appear on men are senile pigmentation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
