I have a funny brown spot on my lower neck. Why?
This
question could also be about a white or pigmentless spot on one or both
sides of the neck. The number one reason for this, from all the clients
I have seen, is fragrance application plus sun exposure.
Where
do you put your perfume? On your lower neck or the sides of your neck?
Up near your ears? If this is the case and you receive sun exposure, you
are begging for hyperpigmentation or possibly hypopigmentation, which
is loss of pigment resulting in white spots. Perfume is highly chemical
and can cause a chemical reaction when exposed to UV radiation. So there
is your problem.
However,
if this “funny spot” is an irregular mole, especially one that has
changed recently or is new and not hyperpigmentation, I recommend having
it checked out by a dermatologist—now.
