The human skin is a canvas of stories—some visible, others hidden beneath the surface. Among the most persistent and puzzling of these narratives are the under-the-skin spots: those ghostly imprints that refuse to fade, lingering like shadows of past injuries, hormonal fluctuations, or even the quiet betrayal of time.
