following the use of deodorant soaps, scented toiletries,
and various cosmetics can also produce this mottled pigmentation.

radiation being absorbed by the chemical substance (perfume,
cologne and other types of fragrance) on the skin. This pigmentation
often extends down to the sun-exposed areas of the neck and
may be more pronounced on the right side of the forehead,
face and neck due to sun exposure while driving a car (or
the left side - if you drive on the right).
