　　Why do women always have such spots?

　　1. After pregnancy, the placenta secretes more androgens and progesterone, so symmetrically distributed chloasma is common on the cheeks of women during pregnancy. However, after the secretion of androgens and progesterone in the body returns to normal after childbirth, most people's spots will naturally lighten or disappear.

　　2. Drug factors: 9% to 20% of women who take long-term oral contraceptives are prone to chloasma. Some people even develop facial spots after one month of oral contraceptives. In addition, taking medicines for high blood pressure and diabetes and eating more highly photosensitive foods, such as celery, coriander, carrots, etc., can also easily cause chloasma.

　　3. Other factors: Some chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, etc. will lead to increased tyrosinase activity and increased melanin production, while the body's own ability to eliminate melanin is weakened. Once melanin cannot be excreted from the body in time, chloasma will appear on the face over time; in addition, improper use of cosmetics will also aggravate and accelerate the formation of chloasma.

　　The appearance of chloasma not only brings great harm to our skin, but may also be a manifestation of some other diseases. Many patients suffer from this disease due to insufficient liver qi and insufficient kidney qi. They need to pay attention to the reasonable use of medication. Experts say that taking contraceptive pills for a long time is prone to chloasma. I hope everyone can understand the cause of the disease as soon as possible and make their skin more beautiful.
