기미 (Sign) is a term used in Korean to refer to a type of skin condition characterized by brown or grayish spots on the skin, often appearing on the face. These spots are caused by an overproduction of melanin, usually due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or aging. In traditional Korean culture, 기미 is often associated with beauty standards, leading many to seek treatments to reduce its appearance. Various methods, including topical creams, laser therapy, and chemical peels, are commonly used to address 기미 and improve skin tone.
