A member asked:
Do teenage skin conditions (eg. breakouts pigmentation) improve as you grow older?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some do some don't: There are many different types of pigmentation presentations/problems, and the natural course of these vary tremendously. Some improve and some don't. One way to help minimize them or prevent them from worsening, is avoiding prolonged direct sun exposure, which will make the pigmented lesions stand out more.
