Dry skin and genetics aggravate igh. Try keeping your skin hydrated. If it doesn’t help consult a dermatologist

New IGH spots do not develop on a daily basis. They usually develop slowly gradually over months and they tend to remain small in size extending up to maximum of 3 to 4 mm. But if you’re getting new spot being noticed daily, then it could be something else as well, so you can get it checked up.
