Spots can appear due to hormonal changes.

Most often, melanin production occurs in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation, emphasized dermatovenerologist, dermatologist and cosmetologist at EMC, Yana Khodnevich, in a conversation with Lenta.ru .

She explained that pigment spots can appear due to injuries, during pregnancy, and also hormonal therapy.
