Pigmentation Treatment
Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces more
melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This can make spots or patches
of skin appear darker than surrounding areas.
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition. It affects
people of all skin types.
Some forms of hyperpigmentation, including melasma and
sun spots, are more likely to affect areas of skin that face sun exposure,
including the face, arms, and legs.
Other types of hyperpigmentation form after
an injury or skin inflammation, such as cuts, burns, acne, or lupus. These can occur
anywhere on the body.
Having extra pigment in some areas of skin is
usually harmless but can sometimes indicate another medical condition.
