What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a common condition where patches of skin become darker than the surrounding area. It occurs when excess melanin forms deposits in the skin. Types include post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), sun-induced lentigines, and melasma. While usually harmless, it can significantly affect confidence.

Causes & Symptoms of Hyperpigmentation

Causes

  • 1. Post-inflammatory response (after acne, injury, burns)
  • 2. UV exposure triggering melanin overproduction
  • 3. Hormonal influences
  • 4. Certain medications
  • 5. Skin friction or irritation
  • 6. Genetic predisposition

Symptoms

  • Darkened patches or spots on the skin
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Spots that darken with sun exposure
  • May occur anywhere on the body
  • Particularly common on face, hands, décolleté
