White spots may be caused by skin conditions like vitiligo or fungal infections.

If new or spreading, get evaluated by a dermatologist.

4. Yellow Dots (Sebaceous Hyperplasia or Jaundice)

Small yellowish bumps might be enlarged oil glands; generally harmless.

Yellowing of the skin overall could indicate liver issues—seek medical care.

5. Brown Dots (Freckles or Age Spots)

Usually harmless, especially if stable.

Any change or irregularity should be checked.

When to See a Doctor:
If dots change size, shape, or color rapidly

If accompanied by itching, pain, bleeding, or other symptoms

If you have a family history of skin cancer

If you notice new, unusual or multiple spots developing quickly

Remember: Early detection is key to treating skin conditions effectively. When in doubt, consult a healthcare professional.
