HYPERPIGMENTATION AND FOLIC ACID...

SKIN TREATMENTS FOR ACNE CHICO    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Dark patches on the skin can be the result of a folate deficiency. Dark patches can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly appear on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Once folate levels have been restored, the dark patches typically disappear in several weeks to several months.

Folate, less commonly known as vitamin B9, is a water soluble vitamin that naturally occurs in food as tetrahydrofolate. The term folic acid refers to the synthetic compound found in many fortified foods and nutritional supplements. Some individuals are unable to metabolize folic acid, which may result in a folate deficiency. To prevent potential deficiencies, it is important to eat foods rich in folate, or use supplementation that is derived from tetrahydrofolate.
