Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition characterized by the darkening of certain areas due to an excess production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. As a result, patches or spots of darker skin may appear, affecting individuals of all skin types and tones. Many seek laser for pigmentation treatments to effectively reduce these dark spots and achieve a more even skin tone.
One of the primary causes of pigmentation and melasma is prolonged exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays. Sun exposure stimulates the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour, leading to the formation of dark patches on the skin.
Hormonal changes, such as those occurring during pregnancy, hormonal therapy, or oral contraceptive use, can trigger the development of pigmentation and melasma. This type of hyperpigmentation, known as "pregnancy mask" or chloasma, often appears as dark patches on the face.
Genetics play a role in the development of pigmentation and melasma. Individuals with a family history of hyperpigmentation may be more prone to developing dark patches on their skin.
This occurs due to an excess of melanin, resulting in darker patches on the skin.
This is characterised by a decrease in melanin, leading to lighter patches on the skin. Conditions such as vitiligo and albinism fall into this category.
Brown spots that develop as a result of exposure to the sun typically appear on the hands, face, and arms.
PIH refers to darkening after inflammation from acne, injuries, or insect bites. It manifests as dark patches on the skin and can occur in various areas of the body.
