What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation happens when certain areas of the skin produce more melanin than usual. It can appear as dark spots, patches or uneven tone on the face and body.
What Causes Hyperpigmentation?
Several factors can trigger excess melanin production, leading to dark spots and uneven skin tone.
UV rays stimulate melanin production, causing dark spots to form or worsen.
Inflammation from acne can leave behind dark marks (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation).
Conditions like melasma can be triggered by hormonal fluctuations (pregnancy, birth control).
Cuts, burns, or irritation can cause the skin to produce excess melanin during healing.
Some people are more prone to pigmentation due to genetic factors.
