What are the causes of ankle pigmentation?

✔ Melanin pigmentation

​

Protecting our bodies from ultraviolet rays

It is a melanin pigment that is active for that purpose.

On the other hand, due to some cause on the skin

When inflammation occurs, melanin pigment

It increases abnormally.

​

Normally, if you move your clothes, due to this

If friction occurs and stimulation continues,

Microscopic inflammation occurs on the skin and

Increased melanin pigment

Abnormal symptoms will appear.

​

The skin around the ankle bone is thin and delicate

Because it is a specific area, due to continuous burden and stimulation

Excess melanin pigment to protect the skin

Because it is produced and not properly discharged

It can be seen as a cause of pigmentation.​

​

​

✔ Sebum and old dead skin cells

​

When you sweat, sebum secretion also increases.

If you leave the sweating situation unchecked

Sebum accumulates and clogs the pores, causing them to turn black.

I wonder if the situation where the pores were clogged persisted.

There is a need to check.

​

✔ Friction

​

Unlike in the West, in Korea

Sitting on the floor has become a way of life.

Even when having meals or gatherings, there is a floor seating area.

If there is plenty of space and you sit cross-legged

The ankle bone is getting dark from constant friction

Pigmentation will occur.​

​

​

✔ Excessive exfoliation

​

To remove it just because the ankle bone is dark

There are people who scrub vigorously with an exfoliating towel for this purpose.

In the case of a moderate amount of dead skin cells, they play a role in protecting the skin.

However, excessive dead skin cells cause hyperpigmentation.

About once a week, small granules

Please exfoliate using a scrub product.
