Hyperpigmentation - What You Should Know

While increased pigmentation usually isn’t harmful, it can be a symptom of a medical condition. Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces more melanin which gives our skin its color. There are several types of hyperpigmentation, the common ones being melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

There are several reasons why hyperpigmentation is on the rise.

• Hormonal changes that occur during various times in our lives may cause uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation.
• Some conditions may cause hyperpigmentation in older women.
• Not wearing sunscreen daily.
• Pollution is a less-known cause of hyperpigmentation, according to research published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology Prescription.
