Have you noticed small white or red spots appearing on your skin after sun exposure? Here’s what may explain their appearance and how they can be managed.
Our skin contains microorganisms that naturally live there as part of what is known as the skin microbiome. In warm and humid conditions, certain types of yeast may grow more than usual in some people, which can lead to the appearance of small spots that differ in color from the surrounding skin.
These spots may appear lighter or darker than the surrounding skin and can become more noticeable after sun exposure because the affected areas may not tan in the same way.
