Chapter 14 Drug Abuse Predisposed to Pigmentation
Pigmentation is a "face problem" that troubles many women.When the "baking test" of the sun, endocrine disorders and other conditions appear, the spots will be aggravated.In addition, if women take oral contraceptives for a long time, it will also cause annoying pigmentation.

Women who take birth control pills for a long time, especially after middle age, often have pigmentation on their faces.Experts pointed out that the symptoms will be more obvious if the contraceptive pills are taken for a long time, especially for more than five years.

Because contraceptive pills contain female sex hormone components, which can affect human endocrine, women who often take pills are likely to develop chloasma.Moreover, due to the different doses and time of contraceptives taken by women, the incidence of pigmentation varies, but usually occurs after 1 to 20 months of oral administration.Especially some short-acting contraceptives have a greater impact on the human body.

Relatively speaking, long-acting contraceptives are safer, but long-term use will cause damage to liver function, and further affect the work of the body's detoxification system, which may indirectly cause spots on women's faces.Especially for women after the age of 40, due to the decline of ovarian function and poor endocrine regulation, they are more likely to develop spots under the stimulation of oral contraceptives.

Other drugs may also change the normal skin color. Taking quinine may cause blue spots on the face; sedatives can cause butterfly spots on the cheeks and neck of those who take them for a long time, and brown gray, light blue or light purple spots on the arms, etc. ; Repeated use of mercury-containing ointments can also leave brown pigment in the affected area.
