WHAT IS HYPERPIGMENTATION?
Hyperpigmentation causes patches of skin to become darker than the surrounding skin. It occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color.
Hyperpigmentation is very common on skin of color, as darker skin tones already have a higher melanin content. Burns, bruises, acne, rashes, or other trauma to the skin can cause it to produce more melanin and lead to dark spots.
Types of hyperpigmentation include:
- age spots, also called “liver” spots
- melasma
- post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Some medications and certain health conditions can also lead to hyperpigmentation.
WHAT CAUSES HYPERPIGMENTATION?
Hyperpigmentation can occur due to continued, over-exposure to the sun over a number of years, as a result of changes in your hormone levels, and down to the ageing process. You can also develop hyperpigmentation after an injury to the skin – for instance, after a scab or wound has healed.
