What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a common problem in which a specific area of the skin becomes several shades darker than the rest. This usually happens because something triggers the overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for your skin's colour. While not harmful, this condition can cause uneven skin tone and dark spots.
What Are The Causes of Hyperpigmentation?
There are various types of hyperpigmentation, which are caused by diverse factors. These include:
-
Freckles: Freckles can be hereditary or a result of sun exposure. These spots are more common in those with lighter skin tones.
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): This type of hyperpigmentation occurs after an injury, such as acne or a burn. The skin becomes darker after the spot where it occurred heals.
-
Melasma: Melasma is a condition caused by hormonal changes that cause dark patches on the upper lip, nose, forehead, and cheeks.
-
Sunspots are the most common type of hyperpigmentation. They are caused by repeated exposure to the sun for a long time.
