To identify dark spots on the skin, a doctor or dermatologist may perform a skin examination under the Wood’s lamp test. Doctors and dermatologists can often determine the cause of dark spots on the skin by looking at the spots and taking medical history.
During a physical exam, your doctor may perform a Wood’s lamp skin exam, which involves looking at the mole with a special black light source. In some cases, the specific characteristics of the spots require further testing to confirm that skin cancer is not the cause of the spots, and home remedies for acne and dark spots are recommended.
