Hello Doctor,
I've been diagnosed with HPV recently, and I've noticed dark spots appearing on my chin. Additionally, I haven't had my period. Could these dark spots be related to my HPV diagnosis, and should I be concerned about them?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Dark spots on your chin could be caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, skin pigmentation issues, or even irritation from skincare products.
2. It's important to consider whether the dark spots might be related to your HPV diagnosis or if they're unrelated.
3. HPV itself typically doesn't cause dark spots on the skin, but stress or hormonal changes associated with managing the diagnosis might contribute to skin changes.
4. Missing your period could also indicate hormonal imbalances, stress, or other underlying health issues unrelated to HPV.
5. Consulting with a dermatologist or gynecologist can help determine the cause of the dark spots and address any concerns about your menstrual cycle and overall health.
6. Keep track of any changes in your skin or menstrual cycle and discuss them thoroughly with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
Thanks
