Dr. Cristina Villegas, head of the Sanitas La Moraleja Hospital Dermatology service recommends “ periodically check the skin to see if there are changes in moles and skin stains ”. In addition, adds that “ must be careful if you see new spots or changes in the nevus (moles). If so, it is best to notify our dermatologist. ”

Excessive solar exposure, without photoprotection and leather impregnated with products containing alcohol, may be cause for the appearance of unsightly skin spots. Although the main problem is which give the skin an appearance of premature aging, in some cases can lead to skin cancer.
