Important: These treatments should only be pursued under a dermatologist’s guidance. What works for one person may not work for another.
When to See a Doctor
While IGH is harmless, it’s always wise to have new or changing skin spots checked by a professional. See a dermatologist if:
-
The spots are changing in size, shape, or color
-
You have only one spot (rather than many)
-
The spot is growing or spreading
-
You have a personal history of skin cancer
