Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition where cells produce more melanin in certain areas, causing uneven pigmentation. This can be from sun exposure, hormones or medications.
Common Types of Hyperpigmentation:
• Melasma, Chloasma or Pregnancy Mask: Skin discoloration caused by hormones
• Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Darkening of skin caused by trauma to the tissue
• Freckles: Characterized by clusters of melanocytes (pigment cells)
• Age Spots, Solar Lentigo or Liver Spots: Dark spots caused by sun exposure or aging
