Brown spots on the neck can affect both men and women, generally from the age of 45. Hyperpigmentation of the neck is often combined with other signs of aging, such as wrinkles and loss of firmness, making brown spots on the neck a global aesthetic problem.
Summary
Brown spots on the skin of the neck are caused by a combination of skin aging and sun exposure. This is because the neck is an area exposed regularly to the sun, but rarely protected from it. This results in a photo-aging phenomenon that combines wrinkles, loss of firmness and pigmentation spots, also called lentigines, or age spots, on the neck. Hyperpigmentation on the body is often difficult to hide, and this is especially true when it concerns the neck. You can’t wear a scarf all the time to hide the pigmented skin on your neck! Coping with other people staring can be difficult when you have brown spots on the neck.
You should treat the skin on your neck with the same care and attention as that on your face. Men and women both tend to neglect their neck when following their daily skin care routine, yet it is thin and sensitive.
So don’t forget to systematically moisturize your neck after your face. Similarly, apply sun protection to both your face and neck to limit the effects of photo-aging.
You can treat brown spots on the neck using dermo-cosmetics formulated specifically to correct marks, even out the complexion and protect skin from damage, particularly that caused by the sun. You can also see a dermatologist who can prescribe and/or perform certain depigmenting treatments.
