Unwanted pigmentation in the skin can cause a mottled, uneven skin tone that detracts from a person’s natural beauty; in addition, sudden changes in pigmentation, such as a new mole or suspicious dark spot, can potentially be indicative of skin cancer, and should be checked out immediately by a board-certified dermatologist.
