• How is melanin connected to skin color? Melanin is the pigment that gives color to our skin. This pigment is produced by cells called Melanocytes. The production of Melanin happens deep down in the skin with the help of various enzymes. The melanocytes then distribute the melanin to the upper layers of the skin due to which we get our skin color.

How does pigmentation occurs

• Exposure to the sun is the main factor which leads to the development of pigmentation due to over production of melanin.
• It is most common among Asians and Latinos due to the fact that the areas they live in have high UV exposure.
• The sun’s UV radiation generates harmful free radicals and triggers inflammation -> Increase in the melanin producing cells (melanocytes) in the skin -> Melanin is over produced which lead to pigmentation, uneven skin tone and dark patches on the skin.
• Harmonal changes during pregnancy
• Usage of oral contraceptives
• Endocrine disorder (example : thyroid or ovarian dysfunction

I had my pimple in my face since I give birth to my son. Now my son is already 2 years old. Some people think 2 years not long but some said 2 years is enough to build a house.

I’m a housewife so normally stay at home seldom go out meet people. So the pimple in my face I actually ignore. And my husband and parents didn’t mention anything about my skin. So I don’t feel any feeling, only sometimes when I see my husband look at pretty women than I felt jealous, when I look at the pretty women I felt sad and ashamed at myself. I have no confidence to look at people and I think if the pretty women seduce my husband what will happen. All the negative thinking in my brain. I can’t stop thinking. And my emotions turn to be angry and bad mood.

I don’t know why and suddenly I hate my husband. My husband don’t know what happen he don’t know why I felt unhappy. He even thought is because of my period. End up I argue with my husband…But later on we solve the problem. How can I describe this kinds of feelings or problem or what should I call this? It happens twice a months. I scared my relationship with my husband last not long.

When I stay calm, I think is not my husband problem, it is normal for a guys who look at a pretty women but why I get angry easily maybe because is myself.  I have low confidence at myself because of the pimple at my face.

I can’t stand anymore, I have decided to do the Fractional laser treatment on my acne skin.
