Pigmentation & Texture Disorders

Your skin tells a story — but not every mark, patch, or spot needs to be permanent.

Whether you're dealing with sun damage, discoloration, or chronic texture issues like keratosis pilaris, Biltmore Dermatology offers expert diagnosis, real answers, and treatment plans tailored to your skin's needs — and your goals.

What Are Pigmentation and Texture Disorders?

These conditions affect how your skin looks, feels, and ages. They can involve:

• Hyperpigmentation (dark patches or spots)
• Hypopigmentation (light or white patches)
• Uneven tone or mottling
• Chronic roughness or bumpiness

Most are not dangerous, but they can cause emotional frustration, social discomfort, and confusion about what's normal — and what isn't.

At Biltmore Dermatology, we help you separate fact from fear — and build a treatment plan that makes sense.

Conditions We Treat

Brown Spots / Age Spots

Also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, these are flat brown patches caused by years of sun exposure. They're common with age but can be lightened or removed if desired.

Melasma

Melasma causes patchy brown or gray-brown discoloration, often on the face. It's influenced by hormones, sun exposure, and sometimes medications. We offer treatments that manage melasma safely, especially for skin of color.

Sun Damage

Years of UV exposure can lead to discoloration, roughness, and premature aging — sometimes showing up as early as your 30s. We help repair visible damage and monitor for signs that need closer attention.

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition that causes loss of pigment in patches. While not harmful, it can be deeply emotional. We offer compassionate evaluation and management options for patients of all skin tones.

Keratosis Pilaris

Keratosis pilaris causes small, rough bumps — often on the arms, thighs, or cheeks. It's common, chronic, and often dismissed — but with proper skin care and treatment, it can improve.
