black dots on face called - #18822
I am really confused and kinda worried about these black dots on my face. I've noticed them popping up over the last few months, like little black dots on face that I can’t explain. At first, I thought they were just some weird breakouts or something, but they're not going away. My friend said they were probably just blackheads, but they look different – almost more like age spots or maybe even moles? They’re not itchy or painful, just there, and it's making me self-conscious, especially when I’m trying to take selfies or go out without makeup. I went to my dermatologist, and they mentioned that these black dots on face called "seborrheic keratosis" could be a possibility, but I still have doubts. What does that even mean? I mean, are they harmful in any way? Can they turn into something serious, or are they just a normal part of getting older? I’ve done some research online but ugh, sometimes it's all confusing. I'm wondering what others have experienced with black dots on face called anything; should I be worried, or are there good treatments? Please help!
