ABOUT PIGMENTATION
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that occurs when melanin is overproduced in certain spots on the skin and results in darkened patches. There are many types of hyperpigmentation, but the following are the most common:
Melasma or Chloasma
This can occur as a result of hormonal influences such as pregnancy and birth control pills, and causes dark and irregularly shaped areas on the face or arms.
Melanin Overproduction
This may lead to hyperpigmentation across the skin, not just the face. Pigment spots such as age spots can be caused by sun exposure and therefore mainly appear on areas that are frequently exposed, such as the face, hands and arms. They tend to be small, dark patches of skin.
Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
This can occur when a skin injury or trauma heals and leaves a flat area of discolouration behind. It is commonly found among acne sufferers.
