  • Side effects of certain medications- The medications that can increase pigmentation of the skin and lead to dark spots include chemotherapy drugs, anticonvulsants, anti-inflammatories like NSAIDs, and antimalarials.
  • Skin irritation- Some topical skin or hair products can irritate the skin and further lead to the formation of dark spots.
  • Wound healing- As the wound caused by a burn, injury, cut, bite, or surgical incision heals, dark spots may form and remain for some time.
  • Diabetes- Diabetics are at high risk of developing dark spots on their skin because of diabetic complications like acanthosis nigricans, diabetic dermopathy, eruptive xanthomatosis, and necrobiosis lipoidica.
  • Other conditions- There are certain skin conditions and diseases like poikiloderma of Civatte, Riehl’s melanosis, linea nigra, and erythromelanosis folliculitis that can cause dark spots.
