Where are solar comedones typically found?

Around the mouth
On the nose
Forehead
Around the eyes

The correct answer is: Around the eyes

Solar comedones, also known as solar keratosis or picture comedones, are usually found around the eyes. This region is particularly susceptible to sun damage due to its thinner skin and higher exposure to UV radiation. Over time, the sun's rays can contribute to the formation of these small, yellowish, or skin-colored bumps that appear on sun-exposed areas. The skin around the eyes is delicate and prone to changes caused by environmental factors, especially sunlight. As a result, solar comedones are more commonly seen here than in other areas like the mouth, nose, or forehead, which tend to have different skin conditions or reactions related to various factors such as oil production, hygiene, and other types of comedonal acne. Understanding the typical locations of specific skin conditions helps in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plans.
