Use of bee venom for pigmentation disorders
Pigment disorder or pigment spots is the brownish discoloration of the skin. These skin discolorations are caused by excessive production or distribution of melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of our skin.
Pigmentary disorder in medicine
In medicine, pigmentation disorders are also referred to as dyschromias and can occur in different forms and have different causes. This is related to the pigment melanin , which is responsible for our skin color. If there is a change in the distribution and frequency of the pigment, it can lead to a pigment disorder. The most common forms of pigmentation disorder are hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation . The diagnosis of a pigment disorder is made by a dermatologist. It is often a cosmetic rather than a health-damaging complaint.
It is assumed that factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, injuries & inflammation on the skin, medication and chemicals can play a major role. Traditional treatments for pigmentation disorders range from topical creams, chemical peels and cortisone to laser therapy.
Research and advances are continually being made in medicine to improve the understanding and treatment of pigmentation disorders. It is important to emphasize the importance of sun protection and a healthy lifestyle to minimize the risk of pigmentation disorders and promote skin health.
Difference between pigmentation and freckles
Melanin production plays a major role in both pigmentation disorders and freckles. This pigment is responsible for the visible changes in the skin. Freckles are a type of pigmentation disorder, or more precisely, hyperpigmentation.
People with freckles are genetically predisposed to hyperpigmentation. External factors such as UV rays or medication encourage them to become visible. The difference to other hyperpigmentations, however, lies in the shape and size of the freckles, which are small, round and usually light brown. A significant difference to conventional pigmentation disorders is that the freckles darken with stronger sunlight and fade as soon as the sunlight fades.
Study on bee venom and pigment disorders
The correct treatment and control of pigmentation disorders is of great importance. It is important to note that some pigment disorders, such as melanoma (a form of skin cancer), can be more serious and require early detection and treatment.
There are limited scientific studies on the use of bee venom for pigmentation disorders. A 2021 study looked at the effect of bee ven om on animal skin and found a natural fading or reduction of pigmentation.
However, it is important to note that these studies are very limited and the effects are very individual for each person. An allergy test should be carried out before using bee venom for the very first time.
