How it's used
Refers specifically to small, dark, flat spots on the skin, often appearing on the face or arms. While 癦屎 is a common alternative, 癦尿 is frequently used in casual conversation to describe these clusters of pigmentation. It carries a slightly more informal or descriptive tone compared to medical terms for hyperpigmentation.
Examples

Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 癦, which refers to a single mole or beauty spot. 癦尿 specifically implies a collection of smaller, freckle-like spots rather than a single raised growth.
